Wake Up and Roar Quotes

“Surrounded by nothingness you have to do nothing. You have to do nothing to be who you are. Nothing at all.”
― Sri H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“All desires actually end in freedom. Your desire is fulfilled and you are empty. The emptiness brings you happiness, but it is unconscious. You attribute your happiness to a possession, not the emptiness. It is the freedom from desire that gives you happiness.”
― H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“We have been comfortable in limitation, so we don't touch limitedness. When someone imposes limitedness on us, we readily agree. Anything you desire to achieve is limitation. And you don't have to desire limitlessness, because that you already are.
You make frontiers. The idea, 'I need freedom', constructs a wall between you and freedom. Remove the concept that there is a wall between you and freedom and what happens? This wall is imagination. You don't have to remove the rubbish of the wall. What happens if you remove this wall, which does not even exist?”
― H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“If you practice, you will only become fatigued. When you are fatigued, you throw away everything. At that instant, you are free. To get rid of everything is freedom. Everything that you do suggests "Get rid of me." To get rid of desires is freedom, freedom from the function of the mind.”
― H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“We cling to something for safety, and we find we are holding onto the body, the mind, the senses for safety. We don't realize that by getting rid of these things we have true peace. When we go from waking state to sleep, we lose everything that we held in the waking state. Relationships and possessions are lost to us in sleep. We have to let them go. We have no fear as we drop into sleep. We enjoy it, we welcome it. But we are afraid of this waking drop into emptiness because we haven't had the experience.”
