H. W. L. Poonja

Hariwansh Lal Poonja (born 13 October 1910 (or later) in Punjab, British India – 6 September 1997 in Lucknow, India) was an Indian sage. Quotes about I realised why Poonja was so popular among Westerners. He propounded pure advaita, doubtless the highest philosophy: you are the self. You do not have to look for the truth because you are the truth here and now. You are that what you look for. The self alone is. Everything is fine as it is. And the logical conclusion: no meditation, no mantras, no effort and no need to change your lifestyle. It is enough to simply be still and not to think—and enjoy the good food in the garden restaurants, which had sprung up all around the place to cater to the Western taste.
