One Minute Wizard – On Nothingness

Here’s a series of articles by Swami Anubhavananda, who speaks out His mind through …. guess who? (A character called Mr Punny).

Mr. Punny was never born, nor had he any biographical account attached to his life. Yet he is the most sought after person at all times. His philosophy is unlike ours. He dismisses our philosophy as foolosophy because although we talk wisdom in a very sophisticated way, we live foolishness in a most effective way.

One day, a group of seekers (God knows what they were seeking) happened to approach Mr. Punny who was yawning and relaxing and asked him, “How should we reach the state you have?” Pat came the reply, “To reach my state, you have to be stateless, to be stateless is to be tasteless, to be tasteless is to be textless. To be textless is to be less. The lesser we are, the more we are. How simple it is!”
