Rumi quotes

I cannot tell my secrets
I have no key to that door.
Something keeps me joyful,
but I cannot say what.
Rumi Quotes

I am alone

I alone am.
No one belongs to me;
nor do I belong to anyone else.
I can see no one who can call me his;
neither can I see anyone who is mine.
I am all alone.

~ Devikalottara by Lord Shiva

Mooji's comment to this beautiful words by Shiva:

"It means: I am not alone as an only individual but I am alone as Everything. I am alone as Everything. Not just I'm alone as `me’. I'm alone as Everything. There is no other. There is no other for me to love but my Self who is all that appears in me. I don't belong to any other. There is no other."

I am witness

Overcoming the world occurs through the insight:
I am the perceiver of world, thought and 'I'.

~Sri Mooji

Mooji ji quotes

Life does not worry about life.
Only mind does that.

Noisy mind, no mind, never mind, same-same.

Nothing belongs to you or me.
Nothing belongs.
Everything, everything,
everything simply is.

The Self has no intentions,
not even the intention to kill the ego.
For the Self, ego does not exist.

The vastness that is seen by the mind is not the Self.
The vastness in which the mind is seen, is the Self.

Don't deprive Grace of her role.
Just say Yes to the true
so that the world may not miss
another opportunity
to witness the glory of God
unfolding.

Don't carry life,
you are life.

Always the perceiver will escape
every trick and trap of the mind.
In fact, for the formless perceiver,
there are no traps.

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.

Your love for the Ultimate
Must draw you in completely.
It is not a relationship that can last.
It is a very short-term relationship.
It is a one-night stand, actually.
And there will be only One left standing
-the indivisible Self.

When you live guided by
intuition rather than thought,
your life dances like
writing on water,
fresh and untraceable.

~Sri Mooji

Mind thinker thoughts one and same

Mind arises and assumes the shape of your
hidden tendencies. Mind cannot think.
It is you who think by identifying with thought.
Actually, both mind and the thinker
of thought are thought.
Think about this.

~Sri Mooji

Never Mind Mind

The minute you identify with your mind, with thoughts, with emotions,
with whatever is arising in the space of pure awareness,
it is as though you open a door for bad company.

When there is an earthquake under the ocean, lots of bubbles are coming up.
They flow up to the surface then they pop and are gone.

Don’t watch the bubbles and say, 'Oh no! That’s a big bubble!'

Don’t become invested or involved with what is coming up, burping up.
You are detoxing. You just be at the burping place.

Grace is taking all these things out.
Trust where you are, and that Grace is with you.
~Mooji

Express yourself

Express yourself completely,
then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature:
when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.

If you open yourself to the Tao,
you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss,
you are at one with loss
and you can accept it completely.

Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.

~ Lao Tzu
