dream

The world vision which appears in the waking state and the world vision which appears in the dream state are both the same. There is not even a trace of a difference. The dream state happens merely to prove the unreality of the world which we see in the waking state. This is one of the operations of God's grace.

self

There is a stage in the beginning, when you identify yourself with the body, when you are still having the body-consciousness. At that stage, you have the feeling you are different from the reality or God, and then it is, you think of yourself as a devotee of God or as a servant or lover of God. This is the first stage. The second stage is when you think of yourself as a spark of the divine fire or a ray from the divine Sun. Even then there is still that sense of difference and the body-consciousness. The third stage will come when all such difference ceases to exist, and you realise that the Self alone exists.

Beingness

“Anything can come, but the beingness is not moved. It is not an object, to be moved by the winds of thought. And when you see that anything can come, but nothing can move you, a new confidence is present.” -Mooji

quotes 1.2

'It's Nothing, Nothing, Nothing'

Whatever is coming up in your mind, 

it's rubbish! It's nothing! 

It has no contribution to anything. 

We have grown up too much with 

the junk food of this kind of culture, 

of thinking too much about life. 

'What are we going to do?'

It's nothing! 

It has never contributed anything here! [in the heart] None of this has ever done it. OK? 

Give peace a chance. 

Give emptiness a chance. 

You have never done this.

For everything that comes in here, 

your mantra from Mooji is: 'Nothing!'

It's nothing, nothing, nothing!

❤ Mooji

You know that you know nothing.

Find out that knowledge.

That is liberation (mukti).

======================

The mind is doing very good business on this planet. 

Everyone is working for him and their wages

are: suffering, confusion, depression frustration...and yet, everybody protects him.  

💛 Mooji

======================

There is really nothing You have to do.

There is nothing you need.

There is no place you have to go.

There is no special book you have to read.

There is no special teacher u have to see.

This is between you and yourself.

======================

"When one abides as the Self, 

some divine power takes charge of one’s life. 

All actions then take place spontaneously, and are performed very efficiently, 

without any mental effort or activity."

~ Papaji

======================

When you meditate, 

the ego rises 

and you become the meditator. 

In this process, 

you objectify Reality, 

which is actually who YOU truly are. 

So the best meditation is 

to simply keep quiet here. 

Don't follow any thought 

and don't activate the mind. 

This is true meditation. 

Knowing that you are meditating 

is not true meditation. 

When you keep quiet here, 

there is no meditator. 

There is nothing to achieve in the future, 

because everything is already here. 

The meditator rises from here.

When you keep quiet that is no meditator, 

no meditation and no object of meditation. 

This is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Itself. 

It is in this instant, in this space, 

It is who you are, desireless, Perfect Self. 

In the twinkling of an eye you are free!

Q:- What is the goal of life ? Work or God realization ?

Shri Ramakrishna :- Work is only the first step. It can never be the goal of life. Devote yourself to spiritual practice and go forward. Through practice you will advance more and more in the path of God. At last you will come to know that God alone is real and all else is illusory, and that the goal of life is the attainment of God.

प्रश्न:- जीवन का उद्देश्य क्या है? कर्म या ईश्वर लाभ ?

श्रीरामकृष्ण :- कर्म तो प्रथम सोपान है, कर्म जीवन का उद्देश्य कभी नहीं हो सकता। साधना करके और भी आगे बढ़ जाओ। साधना करते हुए जब और आगे बढ़ जाओगे, तब अन्त में समझोगे, ईश्वर ही एकमात्र वस्तु है, और सब अवस्तु, ईश्वरलाभ ही जीवन का उद्देश्य है।

======================

Silence is another name for God. Quietness is a name for consciousness, peace. Everything is found in the silence and not too much in the words. In quietness, you should try to be quiet for as long as you can, especially when you are at home. Try to sit in the silence and quietness for as long as you can. It's in the silence where you will receive the message. It's in the silence where pure awareness reveals itself to you. Never be afraid to sit in the silence. It's your greatest asset.

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

==========================

Nothingness. 

M: Yes, the void remains. But the void is full to the brim. It is the eternal potential as consciousness is the eternal actual.

==========================

Get rid of person, mind , ego is freedom. 

quotes 1.1

There's nothing you have to do but remember who you are. Isn't that amazing? 

All you have to do is identify with your reality and everything will take care of itself.

"Be nobody.

When you are somebody, 

there are so many duties

that even to be yourself is 

such a hassle.

When you are nobody, 

you escape from every trap.

It is immediate freedom!" 

🌻 Mooji

*****

The highest teaching is, do nothing. When you learn to do nothing, the mind will stop thinking all by itself, but when you do something, the mind will accumulate more knowledge, of things that you are doing, and become ever stronger, and stronger and stronger"

THE EGOLESS STATE 

That the One Self alone is true, and all else is superimposed on It by ignorance, has been clearly stated by the Sage in many ways, and on many occasions. The Self is the Real Consciousness, and the persons and things of the world appear by the ascription of names and forms to It. 

This is expressed in the following: “The Self who is Consciousness is alone real, and nothing else. All so-called knowledge, which is manifold, is only ignorance. This ignorance is unreal, since it has no existence of its own, apart from the Consciousness which is the Self, just as the unreal jewels made of gold have no existence apart from the real gold. ( Ulladu Narpadu verse 13 )

Consciousness that is the Self, plus the names and forms created by the mind. These names and forms, says the Sage, are unreal, like the names and forms imposed on gold, calling it ‘jewels’, when in fact it is gold all the time. It is to be noted that the Sage purposely employs the word ‘unreal’ and ‘real’ to qualify ‘jewels’ and ‘gold’. Jewels are not commonly thought of as unreal. But here the purpose is to illustrate the unreality of the manifold knowledge, which is the world. The words are put in here, to make the parallelism complete and accurate. If these words were not there, some misguided disciple would twist the meaning and make it out that the Sage teaches the reality of names and forms.

Question: How does the mind become still? 

Anandamayi Ma: By treading the path that leads to the realization of ’who am I?’

Why worry about something in future? It is here and now which are important.

You are always Self Realized, but only ignorant of the fact.
