"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 Monte Sahaja in Portugal 27 June 2012
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 what we assume to be true. When ‘I’ arises inside, clarify who this ‘I’ is, as what are you here? Lo...
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 opportunity of seeing from your true place, and the highest potential of words. One person reports t...
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 what doesn't serve truth." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 8 February 2014
"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 material abundance leads to internal weakness and selfishness while real hardship can open up the hearts ...
"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 that is taking place when you listen with the ears of consciousness. Listen acutely to that one that...
"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 already know, of what you already are." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 7 June 2013...
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 being who has had to re-enter themselves has had to go through these type of experiences. Mooji encourag...
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 one that suffers the impact of thoughts. A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 18 November...
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 acknowledger of what is true; this one appears to be a fact. Is this true? Contemplation of these questio...
"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 October 2012
"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 essence of satsang." A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 23 May 2014
In this beautiful talk that happened just before leaving for the day, Sri Mooji reminds us that nowhere in the world of forms, we can find eternal satisfaction because the world of forms is the world of changes. To find the unchanging one must go to the formless. He invites us to contemplate whether the one who is receiving this advice is with form or without form. ”When you determine whether it is with form or without form, it will tell you whether you are near to your answer or you are your an...
"Don't be so keen to share your discoveries with people. Through your enthusiasm for describing the silence you have found, you can become noisy. It's like writing a 300 page book on Silence. Just imbibe, Drink yourself in. Don't give someone else a straw to drink you. Just be in That." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 26 June 2012
"Your true position is that of the ultimate seeing which is free of attachment and free of need. If you can confirm this in yourself, that state is already called the Buddha consciousness. Let our minds be baptised in that wisdom. If not yet in wisdom, at least in the yes-ness of the Heart that takes us to that wisdom." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 28 July 2012
"The life of Truth is truly beautiful, peaceful, happy, free, light, open, holy, kind... And yet there is such resistance against it. This is the paradox: Man seeks all these things but he wants to find it through his mind, through his projections... The opportunity to find it as himself scares him and makes him want to run away. Don´t give much credence to the one, that wants to run. This one is the very one that needs to move out of the picture. You must have the courage to stand up and fight ...
When you start to inquire into your true nature, the vasanas (strong tendencies of the mind) can't hide. It is as if they are living in a glass house. They will come, but the good news is that you have all the artillery, all the power, to transcend them. Step truly into the fire and say "Yes" — yes to Truth, yes to completeness. Let "Yes" be your highest mantra. This will clean everything. Inside your heart - just humming "Yes". Recorded in Tiruvannamalai, India 5 February 2012
"Everything is blessing, even the curses are blessings, for the One whose eyes are bright enough to see Them. I don’t know anything more profound than That. That does not have any distance. That has no otherness, no separateness, it is not a person, It simply Is. Knowing That, the world and the manifest worlds are observed to be just functioning, which includes this body as well... so great is this power, it takes care of everything, even when it appears not to. Nothing can hide from It. Nothing...
If you follow Mooji’s guidance to stay as the Self, all other instructions and practices fall flat, they are not needed. This inwardly directed attention brings you to emptiness, to the pure recognition of your natural state. Find that emptiness within your self and be one with that - without the mind or beyond what the mind has to say about it. Just be empty. Now, what can be greater than that? A Spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja 5 June 2013
"If you are listening from the position of the person you are not going to get it. Freedom is not for the person, it is from the person. Don't even try to find yourself because the place from which you are accustomed to looking is itself creating separation and confusion. Stay as the timelessness beyond even the concept of timelessness." A spontaneous Satsang recorded at Monte Sahaja in Portugal 11 December 2012
Can the Absolute be seen phenomenally? In this Spontaneous Satsang, one seeker reports to Mooji that through the inquiry, he can see what he is not, but cannot see what he is. Mooji explains that realizing the Self is like a non-phenomenal recognition - recognizing something which is not a phenomenon. Asking the question, "Who Am I" will not show you yourself; it is more like a door into your own Self. A spontaneous Satsang recorded in India 30 December 2011
What is Knowledge? "It is not words and concepts but energetic resonance that is knowledge. When you feel you don't know anything at all - that is knowledge. To not know anything, you are just left as Being. If you put the attention on the consciousness, it is compelled to open its flower. If your heart is in a position of 'Yes", your true seeing is immediate. 'Yes' means: I am open to That, to the infinite All-ness that Is, to remove any notion of separateness." A spontaneous Satsang recorded a...
One of the questions that is being put to Mooji is: How do you perceive yourself while watching yourself on video or in photos? Mooji gives an explanation of his experience; he says, "I am there in this but I am also beyond it so I'm able to watch the movements taking place. Actually, I am not doing anything at all. This is my most truthful place." He also says that when we think we are talking about the material world we are almost always talking about the physical world coloured by our own ima...
"The power of the universe is in thought. You think something is a big deal and it becomes a big deal. Mostly we are invested in the ‘buzz’ of the dynamic manifestation in life, and not aware of that place which is completely untouched and uncorrupted, original to any happening. There are some beings that don’t put any value on events. In fact they don’t even register them as event but merely as personal concoctions. A simple person will understand what I am speaking, sometimes even children wil...
"Truth has to become an acquired taste. This is the whole game and the movement of spirituality: a gradual turning of the head back towards the Heart, recognizing and honoring the Truth of our self. What I call true self-respect is this." A spontaneous Satsang recorded in Portugal 10 May 2012
