Satsang with Mooji

While the physical body is here and the vital force, some activity will be going on, some duality will be playing out. It is very important that these things come and take you out of your projected state. We still have a relationship with our mind, with our sense of identity, with how we want things to be and how we want to be perceived. The stain of identity is one of the last ones to be removed....

"In a way, even the gods are seasonal; there are gods that have been worshipped at a certain time and that have been replaced by other gods because even the gods belong to the realm of names and forms. But no one can grasp the Supreme for it is beyond time." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 24 May 2014

This talk begins with Mooji reading a touching letter from one devotee - a plea to help facilitate a recognition that will end separation and suffering forever - a burning desire to come home completely. Mooji looks side-by-side with the devotee at some statements in the letter in order to clarify - to reveal what is true and discard what is false. The devotee expresses that he hates existing beca...

When your mind and your reasoning doesn't belong to you anymore, you don't become dead. You are dead of ego but fully alive as what Is. The ultimate expression of love is when you can’t find the other - even the most loved one. Behind and beyond the finding - you are there. In this love you take away death from me because if this death happens then I am in you, so I am living - as you. This is pro...

"Don't be afraid of not knowing. It is only the idea of knowing nothing that brings fear. We carry and hold on to a lot of concepts, a lot of mental garbage. We want to be free but we want to be free with our garbage. We want to preserve our identity at all cost because we believe identity to be what we are. And we are afraid that to find the Truth means to lose our existence, to lose consciousnes...

All experiences are emerging from within the Joy of Being. Even anxiousness, tiredness, pain - everything becomes bearable because it is arising and seen from this place. Like all clouds are a movement against the background of the vast sky, all experiences arise on the sky of your own being. Everything is passing and has a beginning and an end, only the sky is unmoving, endless and untouched. A S...

"Never feel that today is not a good enough day to awaken to the Truth. If you make plans for realising the Self in the next 6 months it will take you at least 6 months. What you are is always here, it can never not be here. The experience may be that you are growing into emptiness, growing from something into nothingness, into emptiness. And this illusion of growth takes you to where you have alw...

"For the wise one, everything that happens has a thank you message in it. In the beginning, you might only be able to be grateful in retrospection but one day you will find yourself saying thank you even while it is hurting. This is using life wisely." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 7 November 2013

"In true seeing, life becomes empty but full in the sense that nothing is missing. It is like being a mustard seed. Inside the mustard seed, everything is complete. It is not doing anything. The energy inside it is existence itself. What a wonderful privilege to have the freedom to surrender everything. Nothing stops you." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 19 October 2012

"You can use Satsang for your relationship but I advise you to use your relationship for Satsang." If you solve your challenges as consciousness you are out of the trap, if you solve them as a person it will last only until the next problem. For a while the mind is everybody's guru but at some point you must discern what is authentic. You must use your power! A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Mont...

In this spontaneous Satsang, Mooji guides us to enquire into who is the one that is giving so much attention to the mind. Stop and question who is listening to the mind and look who observes all of this. It is immediately assumed that it is ‘I’, ‘me’ who is doing this. But see if what you call ‘I’ is truly here and not just a thought. The enquiry is very swift and precise in exposing the myths of...

In this illuminating and multifaceted Satsang, Mooji covers many subjects prompted by questions from the listeners who are gathered around. Mooji begins by asking everyone, "What is boredom?" After some insightful responses to this question, Mooji then speaks about 'unsuccessful inquiry' versus 'a place where the inquiry never fails', the play of personality, confusion and helplessness as another...

At the opening of the Silent Retreat in Tiruvannamalai, India, Mooji talks about the opportunity of Satsang. He says, "The emphasis here is not on teaching and learning, but on discovery, direct recognition, direct experience." Opening Talk from the 2009 Silent Retreat in Tiruvannamalai, India 19 December 2009

"Why is it that after all this spirituality, so few people seem to be waking up? It's because at the bottom line, you're still defending your person! We must give up this lazy part of ourselves, to find the power to confront what is unjust, to stop perpetuating the dark side by making excuses. Something in us resists salvation; be willing to tackle yourself, to stop identifying with and defending...

"The purpose of the inquiry is to be clear about the identity of yourself." A spontaneous Satsang recorded in London 3 April 2010

"Is spirituality only for people who have everything else in life, who have a comfortable and cosy life, or also for people who go through a lot of suffering, who experience wars and great destruction? Life cannot be without suffering, it cannot be without pain and jealousy because all of this helps human beings to mature and to find Truth. Without it we are very weak and shallow. Many times mater...

"Remember that you are living in already answered prayers. Many things that you are experiencing now, a while ago you have longed for them. And when you attained them, after a while, they lost their glitter and their shine. All things, after a while lose their shine because there is not really a shine in them, the shine is coming out of you. Listen to the voiceless Self. There is an understanding...

"Don’t miss your grace! Don’t miss this opportunity of falling completely inside your own ocean. Don’t miss this opportunity of not trying to control the world or your feelings or other people or what they think. But be completely empty. Start right now - you can do it. Throw away all your thoughts and let this be your final night." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 16 August 2013

"By giving attention and importance to our thoughts, we actually believe them into existence and then suffer their impact on us. All our life we are trying so hard to change and improve something which does not even exist. But something inside is totally untouched… and a sweet remembering washes this entire struggle away. This is really the beauty of Self-remembering — you are reminded of what you...

This is a spontaneous Satsang which occurred shortly after the Monte Sahaja Sunday Satsang. Mooji speaks about the resistance and mind-attacks that can often come after one has had an opening or a breakthrough in their own seeing. When these mind-attacks happen, many people run away because they feel it is a painful experience, but the mind-attacks should not be taken personally. Almost every bein...

There is still a lot of superficial judgement in people, spiritually prejudiced judgement and very often we just want to display that we are spiritual. You have to remain true to your own Being and be open. Any thought can appear in your mind, even terrible ones because no thought belongs to you until you make it yours. Allow all thoughts to come but don’t engage with them. And find out who is the...

Mooji touches on very subtle points of the inquiry and speaks about That which simply Is. What Is always Is, whether there are doubts or not. When someone says that sometimes they are aware of this Is-ness and sometimes not aware of It, Mooji asks: Which is greater? The apparent ‘Is-ness', or the ‘me' that says, "I am not aware of the 'Is-ness'?" The one who says this appears to be the final ackno...

"There is only the One and there is nothing that exists that can stand up in front of the One, not even you. Just follow my words and naturally, if there is an openness and humility present, you will come to the place where you know spontaneously. Humility opens the doors for grace very well and angels will rush forward to help you." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 6 Oct...

"It takes only one instant of clear seeing for the illusion to disappear; in the moment you recognise: You are! There is nothing you have to fix, nothing to heal, nothing to remember. You don't have to defeat your mind, you only have to know yourself. Knowing yourself is the holy way of bringing your mind back into harmony." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 5 January 2013

"This is the opportunity to gaze inside your own being and to feel where you are really looking from. We don’t know for how long we have been looking from the position of person hood. The breakthrough is when you begin to realise and recognise that the person you have been taken yourself to be itself is phenomenal. Why? - Because it is also perceivable, that there is awareness of this. This is the...
