Surrender

Surrender, is to surrender your concept of
separateness, your ego.
Surrender is to discharge your river of separateness
into the Ocean of Being, losing your limitations,
and allowing to happen what happens.

Surrender the addiction to your senses.
You don't need to stop them,
but you need to have perfect control over them.
Ego is a poor driver of these five horses,
but the Atman charioteer will not make a mistake.
Surrender the reigns of your senses to the Atman.

As the river surrenders to the Ocean,
surrender yourself to the Self, the Source.
And if you find you are still swimming
on the surface of the Ocean, stop swimming
and you will sink into Depths of Love.

HWL Poonja

Self is what you are

Self is what you are.
You are That Fathomlessness
in which experience and concepts appear.
Self is the Moment that has no coming or going.
It is the Heart, Atman, Emptiness.
It shines to Itself, by Itself, in Itself.

Self is what gives breath to Life.
You need not search for It, It is Here.
You are That through which you would search.
You are what you are looking for!
And That is All it is.


'If you hear the call to Arunachala, you must go! It is the most silent place on the planet.'


Without Love, nothing will happen. If you can’t love your Self, you can’t love anyone else. The result of this will be suffering. Love they Self and you will have loved every being. Learn to know how to love your Self. Love your Self. Always love your Self and this Self will love you more and more. Take just one step toward the Self and the Self will take two steps toward you.

Surrender

Surrender to the Source.

Surrender to Awareness,

This is the only place of protection.

Surrender your heart and you will know all.

Surrender to Consciousness and Bliss.

Surrender means to surrender your bondage
and simply Be Freedom.
Surrender is the ego bowing down to its Source.
No more demands or commands,
but just putting all in the hands of the Source.
Surrender is to submit your stupidness, your wickedness,
To the will of Existence, to Consciousness and Bliss
And being happy.

Surrender.
Let Silence have You.

[By Sri HWL Poonja]

The Teacher

The Teacher will not be recognized
by the diamonds on his head
or by the number of students he has.
Know the Teacher to be the One
whose presence gives you Peace
and removes all craving, attachment and desire.

The Teacher is one who knows the Truth
and can transmit this Truth to a humble one
by look, by touch, by thought,
or, as Arunachala does, by Silence.
This Silence is the Light that does not move.

The true Teacher has no students,
all Being and only Silence speaks.
The perfect Teacher has no teachings
because he knows that you are Free already.
So the true Teacher's non-teaching
is that there is no Teacher, no student, no teaching,
and that Nothing ever existed.

This Teaching must be without words
and must land in your Heart.
If you try to understand, it will only land in your head.
The Teaching can only be given by the Eternal
and received by the Eternal.

The Eternal has nothing to give the Eternal,
so there is no disciple and no teacher.
You are already THAT,
not the physical, emotional or mental.
Leave beside these forms and find out what is left,
and what it needs.
