Papaji

“Go on rejecting everything objective from the mind. Freedom is nothing that the mind can conceive or perceive or understand. Finally you will arrive at that which cannot be rejected. Go on rejecting everything that can be rejected, all objects. Get rid of all objectification. Finally, when you see nothing more to be rejected, the mind will be quiet. Mind will be no-mind:

That cannot be described. All description belongs to the objective world only and consciousness cannot be objectified. In the beginning when there was nothing there was consciousness—total consciousness—where no objects and no subjects existed. You are this consciousness.”

~ H.W.L. Poonja, “Papaji” (20th century Indian Advaita mystic)
