squotes 3.1

The death of desire happens in Satsang, but this is mind only. 

Do not fear.

Persist, persevere, stay here and let your mind die. 

Stay here and overcome this death. 

Don´t give your mind anymore company. 

Don´t be a coward. 

Invite death to come and you´ll be Eternal.

You have only two choices:

Allow your mind to live, or let your Self live.

This is your decision.

THE MIND IS MAYA

The mind is maya. Reality lies

 beyond the mind. So long as the mind functions there is duality, maya, etc. Once it is transcended the Reality shines forth. Although it is said to shine forth Self-effulgence is the Self.

" I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life...Jesus said this.

A human being has the potential to reach that level of insight, in order to say these words without pretense, that...'I Am That!...I am the way!...there isn't a way apart from me, except as a projection.

I am that way!...I am that Truth!

I am not the one you are going to find and keep.

I am the One who is always here!...and I am the Life!...I am not someone living life...I am Life itself!

What a realization!..."

Everything in this universe, person, place or thing, everything, your body, your thoughts, creation, God, everything you can think about, everything, and I mean everything, is a projection of your mind. 

If you really understand this, how can you have a problem? 

But you may say, "Well, my rent's due on the first and I don't have any money, so how can this help me?" 

You would be amazed at what it does for you. Do the trees lack for leaves? Do the flowers fail to bloom? If you could 

realize the truth, that everything is an emanation of your mind, you would become yourself, and yourself is 

omnipresence. It includes everything for the survival of your body. Think about that. 

Your body comes from your mind. But as long as you believe your body is yourself, and you understand that it comes out of your mind, it will be provided for, just like leaves are provided for the trunk of the tree. So this  teaching is quite predictable and it can be used to improve your human-hood, not by trying to improve your human hood directly, that's where you've got problems, but by forgetting about your human-hood and realizing everything 

is a mental projection. 

Again what happens? 

When you realize that the whole universe is a manifestation of your mind you become 

omnipresence. And in the omnipresence is contained all of your needs, and all of your needs are met from within. 

But when you start worrying or thinking about it, you spoil it. Then you have to do human things to take care of you. 

But if you leave the human-hood alone, and go back to the understanding that it's all in your mind, you automatically let go of your mind, and the self takes over, bringing the right people into your life, the right situation, the right address. 

Remember again, your body came to this earth because of karma. And it's going to go through  whatever is has to go through. But you've got absolutely nothing to do with that because you are not your body. But if you think about it you spoil it. 

Subsequently, allow your body to do whatever it came here to do. Do not 

interfere. Do not fight. Simply observe. Do not react. You will be okay.

What we truly ARE is the everlasting, unchanging moment which merely witnesses the play of changing relationships that we call life.

**********************

How can you find true happiness? For happiness, no positive action is necessary or even possible. Turn yourself inward as the pure, impersonal witness, and you will rest in your true BEINGNESS in utter peace and tranquility. Happiness will become irrelevant.

"I"

When we look with the "I" we dream. 

When we look for the "I" we awaken. 

~ Mooji ~

======

There is no such thing as realising the Self. How is one to realise or make real what is real? People all realise, or regard as real, what is unreal, and all they have to do is to give that up. When you do that you will remain as you always are and the Real will be Real. It is only to help people give up regarding the unreal as real that all the religions and the practices taught by them have come into being.
