Truth

Everyone who has said yes to This,
who has turned their heart to God, to Truth
—you are totally loveable.
You are attracting the attention of the highest beings,
and they will walk with you, they will guide and look after you,
because you have made the higher choice in this life.
Troubles may come, but soon you are over them.
I sometimes say,
Why complain about your shoes when I have shown you your wings.
So don’t worry, stay with what you have been shown,
you have crossed this little bridge
...you made it here. Now make it all the way.

Abide in Self

D: When one enquires into the root of ‘self-conceit’ which is of the form ‘I’, all sorts of different thoughts without number seem to rise; and not any separate ‘I’ thought.

M: Whether the nominative case, which is the first case, appears or not, the sentences in which the other cases appear have as their basis the first case; similarly, all the thoughts that appear in the Heart have as their basis the egoity which is the first mental mode ‘I’, the cognition of the form ‘I am the body’; thus, it is the rise of egoity that is the cause and source of the rise of all other thoughts; therefore, if the self-conceit of the form of egoity which is the root of the illusory tree of samsara (bondage consisting of transmigration) is destroyed, all other thoughts will perish completely like an uprooted tree. Whatever thoughts arise as obstacles to one’s sadhana (spiritual discipline), the mind should not be allowed to go in their direction, but should be made to rest in one’s Self which is the Atman; one should remain as witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude ‘Let whatever strange things happen, happen; let us see!’ This should be one’s practice. In other words, one should not identify oneself with appearances; one should never relinquish one’s Self. This is the proper means for destruction of the mind (manonasa) which is of the nature of seeing the body as Self, and which is the cause of all the aforesaid obstacles. This method which easily destroys egoity deserves to be called devotion (bhakti), meditation (dhyana), concentration (yoga), and knowledge (jnana). Because God remains of the nature of the Self, shining as ‘I’ in the Heart, because the scriptures declare that thought itself is bondage, the best discipline is to stay quiescent without ever forgetting Him (God, the Self), after resolving in Him the mind which is of the form of the ‘I- thought’, no matter by what means. This is the conclusive teaching of the scriptures.

Yogi

What action remains to be done by that great yogi whose mind has been extinguished, and who rests in his own true and transcendent state of Being?

Being

Mooji being

When you find your Guru, it should not be a long relationship. I wonder if you understand that. A Guru is not some talisman that you keep. It means that it will not be a long relationship. .., Suppose you bring a hungry lion (like we say); you bring one deer in front of hungry lion. Oh, dear. Who is going to remain? You can guess.

So, like this; the relationship should be like that. Not that 'Oh, yes, now I have someone to tell me and to show me'. No, no. It is to merge the 'person' into its own Source, its own Beingness. That's the Guru, to merge the 'person' into its own Beingness or to transcend the personal idea of self.

Pure Witness

The pure witness is an atom bomb of bliss.
======
The ego mind looks for what it can get.
Heart mind looks for how much it can give.
=====
Pure observing without
self-interest is what
characterises the Self.

~Sri Mooji

Bliss

Q: I’m here. And I’m so grateful to you; SO grateful, SO, So grateful. There’s just one little question remaining. (And this can sound a bit very much like mind-stuff after what I’ve said but) This question is there and I think it’s easy to clarify it. I have a feeling when you say (or when it is said, when you say) "You are the one that doesn’t fade" that it cannot fade. Definitely. It’s SO clear, I cannot fade. It cannot fade; no way, no way. But then, just the thing about ‘Before, you were here. You were, before…' I hear that. When the body is gone, you still ARE. And there’s a little confusion about that. (And there’s more joy to ask that now. At the same time, it’s not so important, the answer for the mind, but just to expose this question. So often I’ve heard it. But I knew somehow if I have the chance, if I get the chance, I have to ask you that; just to know what that means.

Mooji: This life, and what you have come [to], how far you can go into awakening, to the maximum, to the truth of what really is, will itself determine how the Consciousness behaves. It is conscious. You see? Because all that you see here existed first as thought. And then with persistence and intention, the thoughts became concrete. This is a concrete form of thought. It was conceived in thought, and intention brought it into materiality. It used material to create that thing. And it’s the same thing. Things begin as thoughts inside, and the intention, the belief, the identity behind it then pushes it further; then you believe it into existence either as a concept in your own mind or as something, an idea, that you want to realize as a 3-dimensional structure or whatever.

It is the same inside. The one who wants to build, who has a shape and is very much attached to names and forms, that will be the world that you’re most comfortable in. And you will experience a world of name and forms.

The one who is comfortable from the stand-point of the Absolute, and yet at the same time moves in the realm of the relative, knows both. You see?

So, to say more about it is not easy. Because even while we’re moving as form and with form and tasting food and so on; and at the same time, the background of This, right here, is emptiness at the same time. Yet, in front of the emptiness is playing the sense of something-ness. And that sentience inside the body is aware of both; of the dynamic relationships of concepts and names and forms and the play of the 5 elements on this planet..., which are changed in other forms of Consciousness; different forms of elements. So, it just changes and adapts to where the Consciousness has located itself in the body, what it takes itself to be, what it is comfortable being.

So, when I ask you to come, come, come into This, to Look from Here and See that you are wonderful Here. You’re very happy in This. And being happy in This, you’ll be happy in the phenomenal, too. Just realizing what This Is blesses every aspect of your expression. It is automatically blessed by the realization of the profound Self. You see?

And You are both. You can’t take it out. You can’t ‘un-See’ what you have Seen. You can’t take out the understanding that has taken place deeply in your Heart. It is there. You have returned to where you were before beginnings; and after beginnings, into the time and space of duration, which has been Your play. And also you return beyond endings. Yet you’re familiar with the whole range of the play of the dynamic self as beginnings and ends. This you know. But from That which is the Source of the play, there is no end. There was not even beginning for It. It is the un-created Self.

This is what I’m hinting at, that: Can you perceive, who are you Here? What is your date of birth Here? Search and See if you can find.

And if you appreciate this, if you energetically, emotionally appreciate and love what you’re discovering…, because it is going to develop more and more; more and more richness, more and more depth. But that depth is also in the realm of the sense of Being. So the sense of Being is the realm through which the Absolute will express Itself; either in the form of teaching or in the form of just Life! You are on familiar ground wherever you are. You’re on the best ground wherever you are. Even on the ground-less, you are at home.

There are some things books cannot teach you. They cannot give you that experience. But you will contemplate it. You will marinate your attention in it, and you will be illumined by it. Something…, waves of illumination will make clear some things that you’ve not studied; you’ve only just come to Know; where Knowing and Being are the same.

So, the one who has found It, recognized and felt “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...” <3 who is filled with the joy of this discovering and the flowering of Consciousness, satisfy themself.

For another one, it will only be maybe a fleeting experience. And they will say at some point, in some year, [In a funny voice]: “Yes, I had that experience once in 2017 in Rishikesh with…, what’s that chap called? Mooji?...”

And another one will join the realm of the Immortals.
