This Is It!
-
Rishikesh, India - 30th March 2015
(with subtitles)
-
The final Satsang happened
in a local chai shop to the ashram
-
the night before Sri Mooji left Rishikesh.
-
The powerful message and pointing
is shared here for all to hear.
-
Om Namah Shivaya
-
[Mooji] Only the Supreme can see the Supreme.
-
If you see some light and you think,
-
'Oh my god, there is God!'
it is not complete.
-
Because who are you
who has the capability to see God?
-
If you see God in some form and it is true,
-
then it means that,
also, the one who sees is the same thing.
-
But if you think you are seeing God
-
and you are a person seeing God,
-
then the God you see is not real.
-
It's also phenomenal.
-
If you are phenomenon,
what you see is phenomenon.
-
To people, I say this thing every time,
it is the most practical thing,
-
but you don't take it in for some reason.
-
You listen to it like it's a teaching,
-
and I am not teaching you anything at all.
-
It's like you ask me, 'Where's the milk?'
-
I say it's inside this fridge. You go and take it.
That's all.
-
I'm not teaching you how to make milk,
and how to milk a cow.
-
You ask, I tell you where it is.
-
Then go take it, if you want it.
-
I don't even tell you to go
-
because it's nowhere different from you.
-
So something must be happening in the mind,
-
where you take the words I'm telling you
as a teaching,
-
then you say, I'll go and think about it',
and you miss your chance.
-
I don't put the Truth
one micro-millimeter away from my own Self.
-
But you do!
-
That is the difference.
-
You still persist in believing
-
that it is something that you can reach,
-
and if you do something more,
meditate more, you'll get to it.
-
These are all illusions only.
-
And maybe, we are fascinated by this thought,
-
because in some kind of way
-
the ego has got an investment
in this type of belief.
-
Because you can believe this,
and your ego will survive.
-
Because you're supporting a delusion;
-
you are supporting a duality also.
-
'If I only do this, then I'll get nearer to it.'
All this is delusion.
-
[Questioner] When you were saying,
-
something still wants to learn, or so,
I don't feel it like this.
-
I feel that
I'm very much there with you in seeing.
-
I can also perceive in this seeing,
-
this true place, big place.
-
I can also see the little, let's say,
which is kind of a force,
-
because I don't know what is it.
-
But it's not so good, it's not white.
-
It puts me down, it's like it sleeps tight.
-
And even ...
-
[Mooji] But you must think, really.
-
You say, 'It puts me down'.
-
I'll ask you to revise what you say,
-
because she is one
who's words are most trustworthy now.
-
Because when you first came,
-
very, very troubled, troubled, troubled mind.
-
But now, your words, her words now have changed.
-
Her words since I know her,
her words have changed.
-
Before they were words.
-
Now, they are the energy of Truth.
-
It's a big difference.
-
Before when she spoke, her words were words.
-
Most people when they speak
their words are words, concepts.
-
When she speaks now,
she speaks more from experience. You see?
-
So, the words have a different vibration about them.
-
They have a power, and they have authority,
-
and they don't create any agitation inside.
-
But when you speak this little bit,
-
you say, yeah, I see also some energy there,
-
and they pull me down.
-
I stop her, and I say, no, revise what you say.
-
Because it is you who determines
-
whether something is true or not, now.
-
She has the power to determine
-
whether something is true or not, now.
-
So if you say, something has the power
to pull me down.
-
I say, please revise, reflect,
and say if it is true,
-
can something pull you down?
-
[Q.] I see it's untruth.
[Mooji] Hmm?
-
[Q.] I see this is not true.
[Mooji] It is not true.
-
[Mooji] And why I challenge this thing?
-
Because if you let that slip by,
-
then it's a little victory for your mind again.
-
But if you catch him,
and you say, no, actually, I spoke this,
-
but now when I revise it, I see it is not true,
-
then you cut him.
-
This is what is happening.
-
This is why her seeing
is one of the most authentic.
-
Her seeing is one of the most authentic.
-
Why? Because something has persisted,
-
not merely in intellectual conviction.
-
[Mooji to a friend] Thank you.
-
[Mooji] Not merely through intellectual conviction
-
but through experiential conviction.
-
To look, and to see,
-
and to watch the forces, how they move,
-
and then to look and to say,
-
yeah, OK, but I can see this.
-
That's only what I ask you to do.
-
I don't ask anybody to make anything up.
-
Just you look,
-
you observe, you confirm,
-
and say who you are who is doing this.
-
That is all.
-
If you follow my pointing,
-
you will reach your goal, so to speak,
-
in the shortest time.
-
The only thing that gets in the way
-
of the realisation of the Self is fear.
-
Something is afraid to go beyond the person.
-
The person is, somehow,
playing as a kind of a fact,
-
and fear comes that if the person,
-
if the person dissolves,
it's going to create a lot of pain.
-
[Mooji calls out] Amma, please come.
Amma, come, come.
-
We will get her a chair. She can sit.
-
No, she can sit down here,
she can sit here.
-
[Mooji] No, she can sit there.
-
Come here, Amma.
-
You can sit here, Amma. Ammaji.
-
[Amma] Thank you.
[Mooji] Very, very good.
-
[silence]
-
Again, the pointing,
-
I say pointing and not teaching,
-
because teaching requires a student.
-
And a student,
the very nature and the role of a student
-
is to learn something.
-
While you embrace this thing as a student;
-
initially, we have to play these roles,
it has to be like that.
-
You must play through convention at the beginning,
-
follow convention for the beginning,
-
and gradually, as you stabilise
in real understanding,
-
then the roles you're playing
will fall away by themselves.
-
There's no need to insist
-
on labelling yourself as anything.
-
In the beginning, we cannot help it.
-
In the beginning like this, it is OK, it's light.
-
You've not plunged deeply enough yet
for it to matter.
-
But gradually, gradually
as the mind and the being is immersed
-
in the energy field of satsang,
-
then the grosser forms of ego
are dissolving away,
-
and some kind of spiritual refinement is happening.
-
And gradually, with this refinement, like this,
-
one is more able to grasp subtler truths.
-
It's all happening automatically.
-
Everything is happening automatically.
-
If there is earnestness,
-
meaning that if there is genuinely
an urge for freedom;
-
if there is genuinely an urge to know God,
-
then you don't have to go around
-
trying to figure out
little problems here and there.
-
You will focus on the main thing.
-
When you get the main thing
everything else will be satisfied.
-
You cannot water a tree
by watering the leaves.
-
You have to go to the root.
You must go to the root.
-
With everything, go to the root.
-
If you strongly feel,
-
'Yes, I wish to wake up to what is True',
-
then if your urge is genuine
-
it will take you to a pure-hearted soul
-
or someone who can guide you,
-
at least to the next few stages.
-
If you are fortunate enough
to meet a Jnani, or something,
-
then they can take you all the way
-
and in the shortest time.
-
It really is not difficult to awaken to the Truth.
-
It is not difficult at all.
-
What seems to be difficult
-
is somehow the willingness
-
to go beyond our attachments;
-
the willingness to tackle
the fears that come up
-
that make us feel to go further,
-
then you are going to perish,
-
and all of these things
which are mind-created delusions.
-
And most of us would know by now
-
that these are not truths.
-
They are just the mind's bluffs.
-
The mind is bluffing
and telling you things to put you off.
-
And who are you? Consciousness itself -
-
consciousness that is temporarily
in a state of hypnosis
-
in believing it is merely a person -
-
restricted consciousness.
-
When the urge arises inside
the consciousness as a person,
-
when it suffers the person,
-
then it produces the aspiration
to go beyond personhood.
-
Where is the book that I gave you?
You wrote it down.
-
Again, I remind you what we said this morning,
-
I said this, just we were talking at the house.
-
I tell you again, because we're talking
and these things come up.
-
[Mooji reads] 'When you lose the eyes of the ego,
-
you see with the eyes of God.
-
While identity, while identity persists in us,
-
we see and experience the world
-
shaped by our projections alone.
-
When ego falls away,
-
only then we see the world as it truly is.'
-
The miracle of God, the miracle of existence.
-
Meaning that everything is fine,
-
everything is in its perfect place,
even right now.
-
But you will not know it,
-
or experience it, or appreciate it,
-
while we are persisting in the deluded state
of being a person.
-
You will not experience it as it is.
-
You will experience it through your projections,
-
through your identity.
-
Only when the ego state is transcended
-
through perfect understanding,
-
then it will confirm, you will see, 'Hah!'
-
Because people say,
'Wow! Suddenly, everything is beautiful!
-
Suddenly, people are so wonderful!
-
Suddenly, I find that all worries have gone.
-
I'm waking up feeling very healthy.
-
My interactions with my family have changed'.
-
All these things, suddenly!
-
I said, It was always like this.
-
But you always missed it,
-
because you were following your projections
born of delusions.
-
So you never saw it.
-
Most people, they feel that
when they are in a state of Grace,
-
they're experiencing a new world.
-
No, it is the same world being perceived freshly,
-
and truthfully, like that. It's like that.
-
We are deeply attached to our identity;
-
deeply attached to our identity as a person.
-
This is the spell of consciousness,
-
that when it lives in its self-portrait as a person
-
it becomes attached to its self-image,
-
and believes the self-image
is the fact of its being.
-
It has an urge to go beyond.
-
It has a natural intuition
that the person is not enough.
-
But it has fear,
-
because it does not know
what lies beyond the person.
-
But that is only in the state of delusion.
-
Because you are not able to evaluate any state
-
until you are coming out of it.
-
Only when you're coming out
of one state into another,
-
you can look and say,
-
'So I didn't realise I was so tense, my gosh!'
-
But when you're in it and believing it,
-
it seems to fill your consciousness
and it feels like a fact.
-
There is one Earth,
but there are billions of worlds.
-
Inside each body, a unique composition,
-
the movie of the world is being played.
-
And the viewer of this world,
-
the experiencer of this world
-
is consciousness in the form of the person.
-
Billions of movies,
-
billions of interpretations,
-
and in each body that private projection
-
forms an attachment,
-
that this is my world,
I don't want to give it up.
-
And yet, by nature,
it is compelled to keep changing the movie.
-
Every day
-
is unique, unrepeatable,
-
and yet in the mind it registers
-
like this is a truthful world.
-
So the beingness itself
gets identified with person and is afraid.
-
It's afraid, 'Oh, I'm afraid'.
Like the person is going to evaporate.
-
Whereas the person is not real.
-
It's made up every moment.
-
Underneath the person is the consciousness.
-
And that unmixed consciousness which is experienced
-
through the vibration of Presence,
or the sense 'I am',
-
when you know that 'I am' feeling,
-
and it's not combined or linked
-
to any other psychological states or to identity,
-
your experiences will be true.
-
You can say true.
-
In fact, no experience is really true,
-
but they will be more truthful.
-
They will be more kind, more loving, more God-like.
-
But nothing that is born from time
-
can be said to be real.
-
Unendingly transformative,
everything is always changing
-
and rightly so, that it's changing.
-
So the opportunity for the human existence
-
is to find that which is unchanging.
-
When the human being
finds that which is unchanging,
-
they can alone ...
only then you can enjoy what is changing.
-
You will not be threatened by what is changing,
-
because you would
have discovered your timeless,
-
your imperishable Self.
-
Satsang is facilitating all of that seeing.
-
This should not take so long, in fact.
-
But what you have against you,
you may say like this, in the play,
-
is persistent identity,
-
the reflex for the consciousness
-
to go back into its psychological identity,
-
and the attachment to that identity,
-
and the fear that grows,
-
the insecurities that grow out of that state.
-
And life has to provide
intense and painful experiences,
-
because through intense or painful experiences,
-
or boring, you can say also, or sicknesses,
-
whatever crisis, experience life provides,
-
is only to assist the being
-
to produce sufficient aspiration
to grow to the next stage,
-
if you want to say like that.
-
A Jnani has transcended all states.
-
It is easier to transcend all states
than to transcend some.
-
If you only want to transcend
this one and that one, that one,
-
it would be impossible.
-
But if you want to transcend all states,
it will be very easy.
-
Because to want to transcend some,
-
means that you retain some identity.
-
And if you hold on to any identity
-
it will grow seeds of delusions
and distraction for you,
-
and it will inhibit
-
the evolution of consciousness,
you can say like that.
-
I'm going to go soon.
So anybody wants to say anything more?
-
[Questioner 2] I want to say thank you.
-
There is so much gratitude for everything,
-
for having met you in this life,
-
for what you have shown me, for what's here,
-
and the clarity, and the strength, and the love.
-
I'm very grateful, Guruji.
-
[Mooji] It is good.
-
Anyone who rediscovers the Self,
-
your Heart will be full of gratitude.
-
Gratitude is your truest response,
-
because you have earned your salvation to be free,
-
to be free from the tyranny of the delusion,
-
to come back to a state of 'emptiness'.
-
Not the emptiness that the mind is afraid of,
-
but True 'emptiness'
-
where there is no one planning any existence,
-
there is no one being peaceful,
-
there's no one being aware.
-
There is only the Awareness.
-
And you are that Awareness
-
and it is so vividly clear for you
-
that all the schemes of the mind
and all of that,
-
they cannot touch you.
-
It's like a dog barking at a flying bird.
-
The mind's big ...
[makes sound of dog barking]
-
and the bird of freedom is untouched.
-
Even that has too much in it.
-
Even that has too much in it.
-
[silence]
-
The seeds of Grace are already planted inside you.
-
The posture of your heart and your attention
-
should be always just to say,
-
yes, rid me of ego and merge me with you.
-
That's your little work.
-
And keep quiet,
-
and trust, and see.
-
You don't have to be working at yourself,
-
chiselling away at anything at all.
-
But what has been pointed out to you,
-
you must try to confirm over and over again,
-
because it is simple.
-
Truth does not ask you to create.
-
You cannot create or improve upon
what is already perfect.
-
You can only discover that.
-
But if you yourself identify
as the imperfect one,
-
mind will itself take the form of an impostor,
-
and he will present to you
many, many tricks and trails,
-
and techniques, and maps,
and procedures to perform,
-
to reach that
which you can never be separate from,
-
but only imagine
that you have come apart from it.
-
There are thousands of beings
who are aching to hear
-
what you are hearing now so easily.
-
They don't want to hear it only from a book.
-
They want to hear it from the living presence.
-
Living presence doesn't mean,
-
because I'm in the body or something like that.
-
Because I told you before,
-
some people, they say like that,
that, 'You have to listen,
-
and you have to be with a living Master',
this type of thing.
-
A true Master, actually, as I said,
Is the only one alive.
-
Look at ... if you want to
have an example of this,
-
Jesus Christ left the body
two thousand two hundred years ago,
-
and still now, people are having
-
living and dynamic relationships with Him.
-
Sai Baba of Shirdi left the body many years ago,
-
he has disciples now also, new disciples now.
-
The Buddha, 2,500 years ago,
new Buddhists are being formed.
-
With whom are they having their relationship?
-
Is it only with some practice?
-
It has to be more than a practice.
A practice cannot touch your heart.
-
Only with the living spirit.
-
If you love Krishna,
-
you have to love Him
beyond merely his historical form.
-
You can have a living relationship
with the living spirit of Krishna.
-
Because they are pointing
to the deathless inside you.
-
When you find the deathless inside you,
-
you will know the deathless that they are.
-
It says, even to believe
-
in the deathlessness of a Jnani,
-
makes you deathless.
-
Because you inherit that Grace.
-
You should not think of anything
that is dead or perishable,
-
except delusion.
-
[silence]
-
Why should you not be the next Jnani?
-
Why not?
-
Even drop 'next'. Why are you not now?
-
Why next?
-
Is it merely belief? Is it determination?
-
No, it is not.
-
Grace and understanding will confirm for you
your true position,
-
but there must arise in you
the earnestness for that.
-
Where does that come from?
Because even earnestness you cannot produce.
-
Only that Grace is also acting as that.
-
But one thing you can draw some inspiration from
-
is that It brought you here!
-
And it will never abandon you.
-
Only you turn away from it.
-
[silence]
-
Such is the play.
-
Do you think God can be apart from what is here?
-
You want to meet God?
-
You can meet God right now,
you can meet God.
-
Even I will tell you,
-
forget about meeting,
because meeting has a future about it.
-
Meeting means two.
-
So drop the notion of two,
drop the notion of meeting,
-
drop the notion of 'I' also.
-
Who will do it? Who will do it now?
Who will do it?
-
Who knows God now? Who?
-
Who told you, you must wait?
-
Who told you next?
-
Who told you other?
-
[Silence]
-
Because if God is infinite,
God must be here now also, isn't it?
-
How can God escape from here?
-
[silence]
-
And who is more real, you or He?
-
[silence]
-
And who tells you that there's a difference also?
-
[silence]
-
Language created a lot of separation.
-
But you are here before language.
-
You are here before language.
-
You are here before knowledge,
-
because it is you who know knowledge
and you who know ignorance also.
-
Who are you?
-
You are here before the concept of separation,
or even of union.
-
[silence]
-
Everybody is pretending. Everybody is pretending.
-
Everybody pretends.
-
But you forget you pretend.
[laughter]
-
[long silence]
-
So, are you empty or full?
-
[Voices in sangha] Empty.
-
[silence]
-
Are you somebody or nobody?
-
[silence]
-
Rosie said,
'Thank you for allowing me to be nobody'.
-
[Friend] And only nobody is free.
-
[Mooji] Yes.
[Friend] Only nobody is free.
-
[Mooji] Outwardly, of course, you appear,
-
you appear to be this or that.
That is okay - outwardly.
-
But inwardly, are you somebody?
-
You don't have to talk about it.
-
You don't have to share that with anyone.
-
Keep that as your secret.
-
[Q.2] Guruji, that reality that was seen
in you so clearly,
-
now it's like ... it's in here as well.
-
There is no difference.
-
And still, I'm aware of that.
-
I perceive that as well.
-
Yeah.
-
[Mooji] When you see the one
who perceives this has no form,
-
therefore has no growth,
-
has no beginning, has no end,
-
[silence]
-
that this one is genuinely not doing anything,
-
and yet unceasing activity continues
to spin out of this vastness,
-
these are thankfully not easy things,
-
that you don't have to explain them,
-
you don't have to say anything about it.
-
Just you know and you confirm.
-
And then say what comes spontaneously
as you move in life,
-
go as you please,
-
without pride.
-
[long silence]
-
It is as though you are being
scooped out from the inside
-
and replaced with Emptiness.
-
Some divine taxidermy has happened to you.
-
And you have to get used a little bit
-
to this feeling of Emptiness.
-
In the beginning, you're not accustomed to it
-
and people feel uncomfortable,
-
sometimes lost, ungrounded;
-
the mind wants to understand,
-
it wants to put things into categories.
-
But just keep looking to yourself
and finding again that great space.
-
[silence]
-
For those who have this urge inside them
to fully awaken,
-
to what I'm pointing to,
-
I gave you some clues, some tips.
-
Give up
-
the concept that you have any rights in life,
-
or don't even touch the idea of future.
-
Because all these things make you weak.
-
When you don't have rights,
you see everything as a gift.
-
When you drop the notion of future,
-
you are again in real-time
with the universe again.
-
Give up the need, give up the need to belong,
-
and to be accepted,
-
and you'll be a friend to the whole world.
-
Give up self-definition,
-
and you'll fit in everywhere.
-
Give up the idea that you can know someone.
-
You cannot know anybody.
-
Give up the idea that you can know anything,
-
and you will find the universal consciousness.
-
Give up the idea that you are your body,
-
and you will be the imperishable Self.
-
But don't tell anybody about it.
-
[long silence]
-
The mind cannot bear these type of words,
-
but then, it doesn't really exist.
-
[long silence]
-
Fall in love with Emptiness.
-
Fall in love with love,
-
but don't be a love story.
-
[long silence]
-
Then you will experience,
-
your existence will feel like you are like space,
-
moving about in space.
-
[long silence]
-
Tremendous love will be with you,
-
and unshakeable peace,
-
unfading happiness.
-
[silence]
-
You'll be comfortable knowing that
nobody can understand you,
-
nobody ever has, nor have you understood anybody.
-
And yet, in a strange way,
you know every living being.
-
You know every living being.
-
When you look at their eyes,
-
you know who is looking through them,
-
is 'you'!
-
[silence]
-
So like this, fear will go.
-
[long silence]
-
The seed of illumination
is inside the Heart of every living being,
-
and every person.
-
The power to awaken to the Self is in everybody.
-
[silence]
-
But you must transcend or go beyond
-
the belief in your own materiality.
-
You must find the non-dual Self
as your own reality.
-
Don't worry about finding it in others,
find it in yourself.
-
And it will take care of everything else
you need to know.
-
[long silence]
-
In one way, the paradox is like
everything in the world, truthfully,
-
is helping you to realise the Self.
-
The paradox is that
it seems a lot of forces are here
-
to sabotage you finding the Self.
-
Both are true.
-
Everything is here
-
to assist you in discovering your eternal nature.
-
And yet many things seem to play
-
at encouraging you to forget who you are,
-
and to waste your energy on perishable things.
-
Because as I said before,
Time says, 'Everything that you see,
-
everything you imagine, belongs to me.
-
From the birth of my concept as time,
-
I have eaten all this world'.
-
Only one thing time cannot eat
and that is pure Awareness.
-
While your body is warm, find that Awareness.
-
[silence]
-
OK.
-
[Mooji] So, good enough for now, no?
[Friend] Yes.
-
[Mooji] You should show
all the people in this room,
-
because all of you have to wake up!
-
We will look back at this film,
we will look back at this film,
-
we will look back at this film at some point,
I don't know when it will be,
-
and I will look back and will say,
Awake, awake, awake,
-
awake, awake, awake, awake, awake,
-
Awake, awake. Awake.
[laughter]
-
I have to say this to you.
[laughter]
-
[Sangha] Thank you.
-
[F.] With a master like you, we have to.
[Voice is sangha] Yes.
-
[Mooji] I'm not leaving you
with any choice about it.
-
[F.] Yes.
[laughter]
-
[Voice in sangha] Thank you, Guruji.
[Mooji] Very good, very good.
-
[laughter]
-
[F.] We must be your best food.
-
We must be your best food.
-
[Mooji] You must be my best food.
-
You must become Prasad.
-
[laughter]
-
Because I said before, no?
-
Because we were, not long ago,
few people were at the house
-
and Chitanya said, 'You know, I feel very ...
-
I felt some pain inside,
-
because I see how close
Lakshmi and Krishnabai and Janaki
-
they are with you,
and I wish I would be close like this'.
-
And I said to him, You know something?
-
From my side, there is absolutely no reason,
-
nothing is stopping you from being close with me.
-
In fact, why even speak about close?
-
Why not one?
-
Why speak about close, because close is two.
-
Why not one?
-
So there is no reason, nothing from my side,
-
to cause you to be separate from what I am.
-
Except for your own mind.
-
Your own mind cheats you out of it.
-
Because something wants to preserve
your autonomy as ego.
-
And it is cheating, it is cheating you
out of your own eternity.
-
So you're responsible ...
-
your responsibility is to treat your life
-
as though you have no time.
-
You don't have time to wake up.
-
You don't have time for that lottery.
-
Find that in yourself which is already awake.
-
Because mind will try and sell you time.
-
He will tell you, 'You need more time',
-
'You need more practice',
'You need another retreat',
-
'You need the next book, the next Youtube',
-
'You need the next, the next, the next,
the next life also'.
-
And you will buy it!
-
Because you bought it before.
-
[long silence]
-
Nothing from the heavens has ever told you,
you are separate.
-
This came from the earth.
-
This came from the earth mind.
-
It came from consciousness,
-
because it has to play this role of duality;
-
it has to play the role of delusion.
-
It has to play awakening from this delusion.
-
It has to play recovering from delusion.
-
[long silence]
-
In the morning we are leaving this town now,
-
but the words I'm sharing with you,
-
may they never leave you.
-
[long silence]
-
OK.
-
So again, may all whose heart beats for the Truth,
-
may all whose deep yearning is for liberation,
-
is for harmony with the Supreme Being.
-
May your deepest wish,
your prayer come true, be fulfilled.
-
May you swiftly come
to the realisation of the Self, beyond doubt.
-
May you expand in wisdom,
-
and loving kindness,
-
compassion.
-
And may all who meet you on the way
-
be moved, be touched,
be inspired by your light and peace,
-
by your openness,
-
kindness,
-
by your silence,
-
and wisdom,
-
so that they in turn
-
may find that same Truth in themselves
-
and be happy.
-
[Mooji] So be it. Om.
[Sangha] Om. Om.
-
[Mooji] Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
-
[music]
-
The seeds of Grace
are already planted inside you.
-
The posture of your heart and attention
-
should be always just to say:
-
"Yes, rid me of ego and merge me with You."
-
Nothing from the heavens
-
ever told you that you were seperate.
-
[Mooji] So
-
I keep you in my heart with me,
and I come with you also.
