Satsang With Mooji

"For a human being appreciation is a very powerful thing, because it is part of the way in which the consciousness refines itself and becomes more humble, more pliable and more receptive. At first you may not think that you have anything to say thank you for but as you start you will slowly begin to feel an immense gratitude for even the sense of being, for life, for existence. Thank you is the greatest mantra." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja

What we must be clear about is to find out, "Do thoughts have independent power?" Because if they have independent power, then all of us would suffer from the same thought. Some thought means nothing to me, but would send you to hospital! So it is not in the thought itself, but in the amount of belief that is invested in that thought.

What is aware of the obscuring of truth? Can that which is observing be recognized? The questioner asks penetrating and salient questions, making this a particularly lively interview. An interview recorded by Here Now TV; This interview is presented in 3-parts. 1 April 2010

Mooji points out the pros and cons of two paths: Neo-Advaita and traditional Advaita. Neo-Advaita says, "There is nothing to do and nothing to practice because you are already This." Mooji says that this is true when you realize the Self, but not before. In Neo-Advaita, the intellectual understanding is taken to be the realization of the Self, but it is not. However, what the Neo-Advaitists are saying still brings a refreshing change to the traditional Advaitists scene, who tend to take themselves too seriously, work hard and often miss the point. Mooji says that both views are misunderstandings and somewhere between both is truth. A Jnana yogi who goes deeply into the understanding will find that their heart begins to open. A Bhakta yogi who goes deeper into surrender comes into wisdom. A Karma yogi comes into a wisdom naturally, and where there is wisdom, there is love. In genuine discovery, one's heart and mind embraces the whole universe. A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 4 April 2013

"Be in the spirit of Truth and any words you speak are in alignment with that spirit." ~ Mooji Asked about the importance of spiritual education and training for children, Mooji reminds us that the human being is an expression of consciousness and not the controller of consciousness. If the incentive for change is not coming from an awakened heart, it is just another way to keep our projections going. No one can help the world if he does not have peace and love inside his own heart. Our highest purpose is to know who we are!

In this beautiful talk Mooji explains the workings of the mind and the power of being empty. A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 11 November 2013

"When the power of Grace is felt, the person with its problems and its desires is not there. That's why everything feels so perfect; that's why you feel so happy and peaceful. You are very well without you." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 20 November 2013

"Truth is not sealed inside words or concepts. You cannot understand this world; you cannot understand yourself in that way. Not conceptually. You cannot figure out anything. The trouble is, you think you can. When the mind, the identity is again united into the Self there is spontaneous knowledge, intuitive knowledge which is not in any textbook. It's just a kind of knowingness, an understanding, a wisdom, an intuition, a sensing that doesn't really require words. It is enough. For real understanding you need to become empty. Only the one who is not containing anything at all is fresh." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 3 September 2012

"The body eats raw food - food that can decay, just like the body decays. The mind eats thought, emotion. The spirit eats bliss, contemplation. The supreme does not eat; It cannot be eaten. You have to be a bit crazy to resonate with Truth, meaning to not set borders for yourself. What a paradox that you have got to give everything up to find everything." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 30 December 2012

"There has to be something in life that makes you throw everything away for it, something that gives you the incentive and the motive to leave behind your history." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 16 April 2014

"Nothing actually stops you from being what you are except the belief in your own thoughts... what Is, Is, without requiring perfecting". Mooji addresses common misconceptions about awakening

"'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 shame, 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!" A spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 10 June 2010

"Don't even identify with 'I'. See if you can find what I is. And the one who is searching to find the I, can that one be found? The enquiry undresses you from the layers that we have put around our being to make us appear presentable, acceptable, plausible. Have some courage, throw everything into the fire and let these questions burn all the things inside you that are not true." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal

"The one who surrenders and lets go, the one who is a servant of the universe, without arrogance, this one, is taken care of by life itself. The sun takes care of him, the rain takes care of him, the wind takes care of him, the earth takes care of him, the travellers take care of him - everything takes care of him. Everything takes care of You. God takes care of everything. The real beauty is when you come to see that this is so." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja

"Every sentence is a door going back into the same room. A room you never leave, except by imagination." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja

"You need the ego to transcend the ego — it has its role to bite you, so you don't go to sleep. Going to sleep means going back into the person. As long as you identify with your mind, it seems as though the ego is an enemy to the ego, but as soon as you realise that you are consciousness, the ego will cease being your enemy and dissolve at your feet. Don’t let go of this understanding. Blessed we are for receiving this guidance." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in Zmar

"You want to be the perfection but how would you know it was perfect if you didn't taste imperfection? How would you know anything if you don't know the opposite? All this bittersweet ups and downs and toughness gives you spiritual grit and maturity. Allow what is being shared to guide the attention and the mind back into the source. To recognise the source and be one with the source - that's all that is happening, and a whole forest of noise is being burnt. I could say trillions of things about the Self but if I really had to I would say, 'Say yes and plunge inside the ocean of your own being and don't come back up as a person.'" A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal

In this conversation, Mooji answers some uncommon questions, such as: 'Is there such a thing as a healthy ego? I know we are ultimately One, but in what way are we different - beyond the body? Does duality go beyond the physical world? Where do memories stay? Is there a memory of the Self? Do we have to go through Self-realization in every life?' Each of these queries is met and answered in depth, and in closing, Mooji reminds the questioner that all of this talk is just passing time - in a pure way. No concept is worth keeping. The highest joy of the liberated ones is to contemplate the Self. This knowledge is like 'Spiritual Nutella' - we enjoy spreading the Nutella of the Supreme; but the best knowledge is that which reflects the Self. A spontaneous Satsang over Skype

This is a talk that happened in Monte Sahaja one evening, after watching a talent show on TV. Sri Mooji points out to us how watching TV can be one of many great ways of facing the cultural conditioning that is still being held in the being-ness. He also reminds us that failure and crashing in life can be very powerful. When our plans crash, something becomes clear and there is no longer space for the play of any imagined projections. “For a Sadhaka - someone who is searching for the Truth and who has traveled inside towards that discovery - everything becomes a mirror.” A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja
