Madhukar, who awakened under the guidance of his spiritual mentor, satguru "Papaji" (HWL Poonja) of Luck-now, presents a teaching so relaxed that he indicates relaxing is still more effort than is needed to receive it. Any effort for someone who is already Peace itself is obviously unnecessary, and this teacher is not willing to settle for anything less than what already exists: our true being, the Essence. Why this simplicity is not an actuality to most is pursued by him through the tangle of concepts and words we call our lives. Identify-ing ourselves with our moods, positive and negative opinions, the poison that is our doubts, and the tyrants called feelings are some of the aspects he identifies as the ego-centred programming of many lifetimes. With his guru, this former TV broadcaster in Germany became immersed in effortlessness, and is now effectively communicating this ease in a powerful and radical yet loving and humorous style in the West and in India. "Don't concentrate on sadness, and don't imagine or try to achieve happiness" he urges. "Any kind of experience is a waste of time that can be spent going directly to your Heart".
