“Student: Through the grace of your presence we are now in silence. What will happen to us when you go away? Poonjaji: Because you saw me coming, you suppose that I will one day go away. I never come or go. Student: But you are going away soon. What will I do in your absence? Poonjaji: If you know how to create separation in the presence, why don't you create presence in the separation?”
