Satsang With Mooji

A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 13 October 2014 Nobody beats you but you. The mind has no power to distract you without your cooperation. It doesn’t have the power, it doesn’t have the desire. Your mind cannot take you away. It’s just that you believe that and then it feels like it’s true. But there is something that remains completely untouched. Music: "Be One With This" by Soham

"Om The peace of god is with you. The light of pure awareness is with you The joy of being is you Om" A Guided Meditation recorded at Mooji Sangha Bhavan 29 July 2014

"You want to use your mind to go beyond your mind. But you are already beyond your mind. When you believe in your identity, you have to go back to the mind again, and the mind can only bring confusion. The mind keeps putting conditions, like maybe I need to do this first, do that first. But there is nothing you have to do to be yourself, because it is already there. What are you going to do for something that’s already there? Can you make a King a King? He is already King. You only have to recognize ‘but that is the King!’ Ah, OK! Then everything comes spontaneously." Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 8 September 2014

"This fire is a blessed fire... It burns only what you are not." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 22 November 2014

"Offer yourself up and give yourself fully. It is such a small price for what replaces it. Give your heart to Shiva and he will wipe away your delusions." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 3 October 2014

"You are not being offered knowledge to keep and to store up, like in a book, you have to become the book of life itself. So that your presence will shine as the embodiment of Truth." A Spontaneous Satsang Recorded at Monte Sahaja 1 January 2015

"The greatest understanding comes only by Grace, not through studying. We like to wait for special effects, for special kind of feelings. But it is not the happening we have to focus on but the one in whom the happening arises." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in Rishikesh 18 February 2015

“Quietly and silently vanish inside your own being. The world will see you but you will not see yourself—You will only Be.” A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Maravillias 13 September 2014

"The person is always late because its tendency is to keep linking to the past. It does not adapt to the freshness of now. Whenever you look into the mirror it never shows you a face of the past. The consciousness is just like that, it is always fresh." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 29 December 2014

"The consciousness in this form has tremendous capacity. We can function on so many different levels but when it begins to function on a level where love, joy, peace and wisdom are the climate of your presence, then you are in the realm of God." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in Monte Sahaja 11 August 2014

"Do not use the enquiry merely as a pain killer. The one who feels free from pain will again experience pain at another moment. Go deeper than that and find the one who has had enough of suffering and the one who is thankful for being free from suffering. The fruit of self-enquiry is that you become completely empty, that nothing is left of you." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in Zmar 29 September 2014

“When the sense of personhood comes, let it come and watch it from consciousness and see what happens to it.” A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 15 August 2014

"You want to have a nice mind, a spiritual mind. You want you and your mind to walk to heaven together. Well, it might not happen. You might have to leave him. You are going to come to this place where it doesn't matter what the mind says. Until we know that the mind is what you take it to be, it seems to have an independent power. To say: forget about everything, for me is pure love. Drop it. Can you? You'll immediately find love. This love is not a sentimental love ... this love is pregnant with wisdom. Be dead ... but fully alive. Such a wonderful opportunity to forget about yourself." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 27 May 2013

"Prayer is not some kind of poetry or art; it is the most beautiful contemplation. There is nothing you can say that could offend God. The love of God is so great, it gives you the freedom to be nothing. Only the one who has met God has the confidence and the joy to be nothing." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 12 May 2014

"What is the question, 'Who am I?' driving at? If this question cannot give me what I am, then what is the purpose of this question?" It's not a mantra or a mental method. The purpose of this question is to find out what arises as 'I'. Everyone assumes 'I' to be the person, and this is where the confusion begins. Being in Satsang can stir up dormant energies which often arise as resistance or fear. Mooji reminds us that anything can arise; but, what is important is to recognize that you are the witness of whatever arises. "You cannot just solve a problem personally, because the person itself is illusory. Don't focus so much on the person; instead, keep bringing the attention back into your impersonal consciousness and that itself takes care of all the rest spontaneously, automatically. This is the beauty of Self-recognition." Mooji encourages us to keep turning the mind towards inquiry; it is totally possible for everyone to recognize what they are, consciously. A spontaneous Satsang recorded in Ind

"You have be struck by lightning and fall fully apart. You must have this much courage for freedom. Something much more then cleverness is required, something much more profound than intellectual understanding. There is no time to plan for this. You must be ready to offer yourself up for whatever it will be it will be a small price to pay for Self-Discovery." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 13 June 2013

One person reports to Mooji over a Skype phone call that through her inquiry, she has realized that many concepts and ideas she has believed in — including the idea of who she thought she was — are not true. She says that she does not really understand what is happening right now and sometimes feels lost, but that she wants to know the truth of what she is. Mooji responds by saying that actually, this is a common phase of the inquiry. Through the power that comes from real 'inner' looking, stale emotions and stale thinking are being burnt and there is a changing over from being a person to being presence; this feeling of being lost is just the feeling of being lost from your usual context of being. Mooji assures her not to worry, because, "A human being does not move into this deeper place without the call and support of Grace." The beingness is pulling the personality into itself, and it is a much more expansive state. Lastly, Mooji says to just let things happen, and to be the silent witness of them. It

"These words provoke and inspire something inside us that is primal and ancient - older than ancient - before ‘how-to-do’. This is not a how-to-do place. Sometimes if you’re lucky, life throws you something that you don’t know how to do. Is being empty something you can do? How do you shake off this old partner, the ego, who robs you at every turn, even while you’re sleeping? How do you give up going to this mind that gives you empty promises? How do you do it? Maybe for once, you get thrown to the sharks so-to-speak, and something gets produced out of that." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 2 May 2013

Self-Enquiry cannot just be a mental, dry understanding. It has to have the fragrance of the Self and the energetic presence of the miraculous. Then it will do its work and set you free from the limitations of your imagined identity. A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 9 February 2014

Someone who seems to be heavily involved in family issues asks Mooji for guidance on how to remedy her present situation. The conversation begins with report after report of what is going wrong in her life and the lives around her, and of stories of trying to cope with daily life. Mooji points out that her present identity is shaping what she is experiencing and guides the attention back to awareness. Awareness is completely independent of the struggling mind and does not have a story. Can you go to the place where there is no story? By the end of the conversation, there is a recognition of this place of emptiness that does not belong to a person, and also a realization that greatest 'action' to take is to remain as the Self, not to waste any energy putting out fires.
