Interview with
Sri H.W.L.P oonja
byMadhukar
Lucknow, India
April 12, 1994
Madhukar: WJ10a re you?
Sri H.W.L. Poonja: I am That.
M: This and that, or only That?
Poonja: Not this or that; that That is that That. Like with a finger
pointing to the moon. If you hold on to the finger you can't see
the moon. If you hold on to that, you can't see That. [Laughter]
M: What is the essence of your teaching or nonteaching?
P: I teach about That which cannot be attained by any teaching.
My teaching cannot be taught. I have no teaching for the Essence
from where all teachings arise. This Essence doesn't need any
teaching or nonteaching, for it is beyond everything. It is from
where all words rise.
M: From the very source, from the very source of Being.
