00:00:19,278 --> 00:00:25,137
Sunday Satsang

2
00:00:32,993 --> 00:00:37,820
I Am That!
19 June, 2016

3
00:00:39,010 --> 00:00:41,981
You're looking out there for an answer,

4
00:00:41,981 --> 00:00:46,711
and I'm looking at You as the answer.
[laughter]

5
00:00:46,711 --> 00:00:49,444
You're looking out there for an answer.

6
00:00:49,444 --> 00:00:53,381
'Yes', you're saying,
'but the seeing sometimes is blurred'.

7
00:00:53,381 --> 00:00:58,071
I know that, whatever you're wanting to see
and gets blurred, is not it.

8
00:00:58,071 --> 00:01:04,339
You who are witnessing blurred and focus,
you're it.

9
00:01:04,339 --> 00:01:06,219
This is the thing!

10
00:01:06,219 --> 00:01:10,829
This is the twist of consciousness 
that each one needs to experience.

11
00:01:10,829 --> 00:01:13,223
We're wasting a lot of time,

12
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:15,903
because the classical way of knowing something

13
00:01:15,903 --> 00:01:18,683
is one thing knowing another thing.

14
00:01:18,683 --> 00:01:21,157
And I'm telling you, No, no, no!

15
00:01:21,157 --> 00:01:27,614
This is not two things. It's not even one thing.

16
00:01:27,614 --> 00:01:33,038
[Mooji] Are you confused by this? 
[Sangha] No!

17
00:01:33,038 --> 00:01:35,470
[Mooji] Are you? 
[Questioner] No.

18
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:40,290
[Mooji] Yes, you are.
[laughter]

19
00:01:45,182 --> 00:01:50,369
[M.] Now I can say, drop everything,
because it's the appropriate time.

20
00:01:50,369 --> 00:01:55,987
I say, drop all these ideas, drop, drop, drop!

21
00:01:59,317 --> 00:02:03,868
We're never going to be experientially one,

22
00:02:03,868 --> 00:02:07,520
while you retain the idea of yourself as a person,

23
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,130
because every person is conditioned.

24
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,489
Every person belongs to some party,

25
00:02:12,489 --> 00:02:18,139
some religion, some philosophical group,
some political group,

26
00:02:18,139 --> 00:02:23,296
some kind of social group;
some identity you're wearing.

27
00:02:23,296 --> 00:02:28,860
And every identity fights
to retain its own perspective. OK?

28
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:32,752
We are never, ever, ever going to agree,

29
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:35,412
while you're in the state of personhood!

30
00:02:35,412 --> 00:02:37,132
This is what is radical.

31
00:02:37,132 --> 00:02:40,741
I'm going to bring you 
the message of Ramana Maharshi,

32
00:02:40,741 --> 00:02:43,615
I'm going to bring the message of Shankara,

33
00:02:43,615 --> 00:02:45,815
which is not only just a message.

34
00:02:45,815 --> 00:02:52,361
I am their message, right now.
And I'm not afraid to say that.

35
00:02:52,361 --> 00:02:55,238
That is not pride, I don't say it as pride.

36
00:02:55,238 --> 00:02:58,038
Someone has to have the courage to say it.

37
00:02:58,038 --> 00:03:01,716
Somebody asked me,
'What is your master's highest teaching?'

38
00:03:01,716 --> 00:03:04,386
I said, I am my master's highest teaching.

39
00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:06,777
I have to say it! It sounds arrogant.

40
00:03:06,777 --> 00:03:11,228
But it's not arrogance,
because I have the courage to say what I am.

41
00:03:11,228 --> 00:03:15,875
[M.] So I have to say this on your behalf.
[Sangha] Yes!


42
00:03:15,875 --> 00:03:18,397
[M.] Because you are afraid to say it!

43
00:03:18,397 --> 00:03:21,547
And it is not that because you say it you are it.

44
00:03:21,547 --> 00:03:24,353
It's not that. It has to be experienced.

45
00:03:24,353 --> 00:03:30,133
And I wait on you too long.
You're too slow. You are so apologetic.

46
00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:35,505
And so, I have to say it sometimes: I am That!


47
00:03:35,505 --> 00:03:37,775
On behalf of you.

48
00:03:37,775 --> 00:03:43,325
To give you courage to say,
there's an appropriate time to admit ...

49
00:03:43,325 --> 00:03:48,066
And it is not blasphemy.
It is not arrogance to say it.

50
00:03:48,066 --> 00:03:50,393
[Q.] Thank you.
[M.] You understand?

51
00:03:50,393 --> 00:03:56,339
We are not going to reach this as one human family

52
00:03:56,339 --> 00:04:02,322
while we keep on believing,
and you're loyal to your group!

53
00:04:02,322 --> 00:04:04,644
Because it will teach you,

54
00:04:04,644 --> 00:04:09,177
'You're Muslim, you're Christian, you're Hindu 
- we can never meet!'

55
00:04:09,177 --> 00:04:14,257
Even those who are the most liberal in any group,
they still cannot meet.

56
00:04:14,257 --> 00:04:18,264
I've met groups sometimes,
and the most liberal in the group,

57
00:04:18,264 --> 00:04:21,122
are some watered-down version of the group.

58
00:04:21,122 --> 00:04:23,322
It has to be a living Truth!

59
00:04:23,322 --> 00:04:27,010
The only way you're going 
to come to this living Truth,

60
00:04:27,010 --> 00:04:30,540
you have to be like the cow
that jumped over the moon.

61
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:34,340
And this moon is your mind!
You have to jump over it.

62
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:36,674
As long as you stay as this person,

63
00:04:36,674 --> 00:04:40,732
you're going to argue like the person,
defend like the person.

64
00:04:40,732 --> 00:04:43,449
I'm showing you the most beautiful way.

65
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:46,759
The most beautiful way is the way of Being.

66
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,808
You have to come out of that.
I show you, I show you.

67
00:04:50,808 --> 00:04:53,940
I don't say, Go! I say, Come, look with me.

68
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:58,430
And prove with me your original Self.

69
00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:01,820
It is not a fantasy, it is not a spiritual fantasy.

70
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:04,665
It is not escapism, it is the most real.

71
00:05:04,665 --> 00:05:07,462
Everything else on this planet will vanish

72
00:05:07,462 --> 00:05:10,837
except what I'm speaking with you,
the truth of it.

73
00:05:10,837 --> 00:05:12,977
And I'm only trying to tell you,

74
00:05:12,977 --> 00:05:16,777
you have to be cured
of this mistake you're making,

75
00:05:16,777 --> 00:05:21,105
in holding on to this identity
that you're merely flesh and blood.

76
00:05:21,105 --> 00:05:24,986
You're that too, but you're not that mostly.

77
00:05:24,986 --> 00:05:28,502
It's time to grow up, don't just grow old.

78
00:05:28,502 --> 00:05:31,572
Grow up! And look with the eyes I'm looking at.

79
00:05:31,572 --> 00:05:33,783
When I see you, I see the Self;


80
00:05:33,783 --> 00:05:36,953
when you speak, you're not speaking as the Self.

81
00:05:36,953 --> 00:05:40,272
You're speaking as something that is born of time,

82
00:05:40,272 --> 00:05:46,036
that in a few seasons will not be here.

83
00:05:46,036 --> 00:05:48,186
So take courage.

84
00:05:48,186 --> 00:05:52,197
Listen with your heart when I tell you,
follow my pointings.

85
00:05:52,197 --> 00:05:56,792
What I say now with such conviction,
you yourself will be able to speak

86
00:05:56,792 --> 00:05:59,652
with the authority of your own experience.

87
00:05:59,652 --> 00:06:02,059
I'm not asking you to believe.

88
00:06:02,059 --> 00:06:07,091
Belief, trust - this is OK. But it must be proven!

89
00:06:07,091 --> 00:06:11,855
And I'm telling you, I'm here to prove it to you.
And prove it as you!

90
00:06:11,855 --> 00:06:15,073
[Sangha] Yes!
[M.] And you hold back stingily,

91
00:06:15,073 --> 00:06:19,467
when you say you want to realize
the most important thing in the world,

92
00:06:19,467 --> 00:06:21,700
but you offer so little of yourself.

93
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,460
You must have the courage to stand up and say

94
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:27,550
'I'm here for this, Mooji, all the way.'
[Sangha] Yes!

95
00:06:27,550 --> 00:06:30,060
[Q.] I'm here. Thank you.
[M.] Thank you.

96
00:06:30,060 --> 00:06:33,010
[M.] Thank you. Like that. You see?

97
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:36,298
Because the whole world is looking at you, saying,

98
00:06:36,298 --> 00:06:39,728
'If they can be here,
listening to him face to face,

99
00:06:39,728 --> 00:06:43,261
and they're hanging back like frightened children ...'

100
00:06:43,261 --> 00:06:45,926
And I'm saying, Look, follow, and see.

101
00:06:45,926 --> 00:06:48,786
I'm not throwing magic powder in your face,

102
00:06:48,786 --> 00:06:52,006
I'm speaking with you in very simple language.


103
00:06:52,010 --> 00:06:54,970
And still I don't get the response.

104
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:58,529
I think you should be so happy, that in this age

105
00:06:58,529 --> 00:07:04,109
you stand the chance
of really being free of all this bullshit!

106
00:07:04,109 --> 00:07:08,079
[laughter]
[Sangha] Yes! Yes!

107
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:16,868
[Mooji] OK! So we can sit down now again,
and we get on. [laughter]

108
00:07:16,868 --> 00:07:20,508
Thank you.

109
00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:27,420
It is a marvelous thing,
because in our age this teaching is still alive.

110
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:29,645
It is not ever going to grow old.

111
00:07:29,645 --> 00:07:35,995
And generations after we are gone
from this place physically,

112
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:38,398
beings yet unborn will come

113
00:07:38,398 --> 00:07:43,538
and learn through this that I'm speaking today.

114
00:07:43,538 --> 00:07:47,913
Some of the greatest disciples of Jesus Christ

115
00:07:47,913 --> 00:07:51,993
were not necessarily the twelve disciples
who walked with him.

116
00:07:51,993 --> 00:07:58,271
Maybe his greatest disciple is yet unborn.

117
00:07:58,271 --> 00:08:00,670
You don't have to be physically there,


118
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:04,890
but you must have a heart 
that has power of trust and love,

119
00:08:04,890 --> 00:08:09,689
and follow the words!

120
00:08:12,769 --> 00:08:15,295
Just like this.

121
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:18,165
You're not being given 17 steps to freedom.

122
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,775
It is simple, I point what's simple to you,

123
00:08:20,775 --> 00:08:24,188
that if you keep arguing
on the basis of your person,

124
00:08:24,188 --> 00:08:26,871
you'll make small steps.


125
00:08:26,871 --> 00:08:29,871
These small steps, they're OK.

126
00:08:29,871 --> 00:08:34,836
But you behave as though you have
a trillion lives ahead of you to do this.

127
00:08:34,836 --> 00:08:39,521
I said, Today you can see something from here.

128
00:08:39,521 --> 00:08:43,321
Look with the eyes of consciousness.
You are already That.

129
00:08:43,321 --> 00:08:46,847
You don't have to go out and find any tools for that.

130
00:08:46,847 --> 00:08:48,966
You are already here, no?

131
00:08:48,966 --> 00:08:54,996
It's a blessed time, and things are such
in our world at this moment,

132
00:08:54,996 --> 00:09:00,603
that I feel we should feel compelled,
even for your children's sake,

133
00:09:00,603 --> 00:09:05,492
but for your sake first, you must find it!

134
00:09:05,492 --> 00:09:08,782
I look in the airplane sometimes, as we are flying,

135
00:09:08,782 --> 00:09:12,152
and they're telling you,
showing you the procedure,

136
00:09:12,152 --> 00:09:15,642
if you have an emergency, what they say to do.

137
00:09:15,642 --> 00:09:20,902
They say if they're losing pressure,
they bring these masks down.

138
00:09:20,902 --> 00:09:22,956
What did they say?

139
00:09:22,956 --> 00:09:29,726
They say, 'Put yours on first!
And then put them on your children.'

140
00:09:29,726 --> 00:09:31,484
'Put them on first.'

141
00:09:31,484 --> 00:09:35,614
Because if you miss your chance
to put yours on, they are gone!

142
00:09:35,614 --> 00:09:43,513
Put yours on first.
Save your life first. It is not selfish.

143
00:09:43,513 --> 00:09:49,793
If you see beings drowning in the ocean of samsara,

144
00:09:49,793 --> 00:09:53,933
you feel compassion, you want to save them,
you're running out,

145
00:09:53,933 --> 00:10:00,127
'Come to me! Come to me!' And you can't swim.

146
00:10:00,127 --> 00:10:06,470
So you must find the Truth,
and it is presenting itself also for you.

147
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:09,450
It's a simple pointing.

148
00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:13,576
Many have come and spoken these things,
different things,

149
00:10:13,576 --> 00:10:16,519
but it is seen so brightly now,

150
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:20,531
that it is offered to us as a gift to human beings,

151
00:10:20,531 --> 00:10:22,711
to look in this simple way.

152
00:10:22,711 --> 00:10:26,856
To look with universal eyes.
Who can look with universal eyes?

153
00:10:26,856 --> 00:10:31,801
You don't have to get rid of your conditioning,
but you can go beyond it.

154
00:10:31,801 --> 00:10:35,912
I say, Go beyond,
not beyond that way, but beyond this way.

155
00:10:35,912 --> 00:10:39,456
Come back into the very core, from where seeing,

156
00:10:39,456 --> 00:10:43,305
and the functioning of perception,
itself is perceived.

157
00:10:43,305 --> 00:10:49,424
And all of you know! You know this.
Stand in this place, be one there.

158
00:10:49,424 --> 00:10:52,424
Don't create, don't pick up any new thoughts.

159
00:10:52,424 --> 00:10:58,694
Stand and confirm that you're here.
You are the seeing of this place.

160
00:10:58,694 --> 00:11:03,751
How beautiful, how grateful we should be
as human beings,

161
00:11:03,751 --> 00:11:07,824
that the teachings which have been conceived
for so many years

162
00:11:07,824 --> 00:11:12,552
as being super high and difficult,
and will take life times

163
00:11:12,552 --> 00:11:15,552
are presented to you as baby food.

164
00:11:15,552 --> 00:11:18,790
Because we are not, as time has gone on,

165
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:25,487
we are not beings who have long attention spans 
any more.

166
00:11:25,487 --> 00:11:31,443
Then the Lord of the universe has 
presented a new simple way,

167
00:11:31,443 --> 00:11:35,894
'Look like this'.
And it is the most beautiful way also!

168
00:11:35,894 --> 00:11:39,389
Because when you have awakened to the Truth,

169
00:11:39,389 --> 00:11:43,569
you're not just awake
as a Christian, or a Muslim, or as a Hindu.

170
00:11:43,569 --> 00:11:48,757
You're awake as Being, and that is universal.

171
00:11:48,757 --> 00:11:53,663
This is what I'm trying to tell you.

172
00:11:53,663 --> 00:11:58,272
There are beings in other countries 
watching now in different groups.

173
00:11:58,272 --> 00:12:02,340
They are probably even more present with this 
than you.

174
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:09,018
Because they know it.
They hunger and they thirst for it.

175
00:12:09,018 --> 00:12:11,503
This is why I put it to you this way,

176
00:12:11,503 --> 00:12:15,033
because I cannot rub your shoulders with delusions.

177
00:12:15,033 --> 00:12:18,122
But to look, because you have the power in you!

178
00:12:18,122 --> 00:12:23,252
Don't let anyone tell you
you don't have the power to discover the highest.

179
00:12:23,252 --> 00:12:26,642
Smaller things you may not have the power to do, 


180
00:12:26,642 --> 00:12:29,099
because they may not belong to you.

181
00:12:29,099 --> 00:12:31,535
But to everyone, they are the Self.

182
00:12:31,535 --> 00:12:35,839
At some point, it will ignite your interest
to search for this.

183
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:39,402
You have come.
I don't know where many of you come from,

184
00:12:39,402 --> 00:12:43,194
but I know beings from all over the world
are in this room.

185
00:12:43,194 --> 00:12:47,860
Because it is a universal voice that calls you.

186
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,681
I only remind you that you have the capacity,
the power,

187
00:12:55,681 --> 00:12:58,338
all that you need to go through,

188
00:12:58,338 --> 00:13:04,918
to leave a life that is so fickle
when it's lived only through the mind,

189
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:07,579
just through traditions and habits.

190
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:13,793
And come back into the life 
of deep intuitive spontaneity and freshness.

191
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:18,693
This is all I am trying to point to you.

192
00:13:18,693 --> 00:13:20,708
You see?

193
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:24,108
[Q.] Thank you!
[M.] I say and you say, 'Thank you',

194
00:13:24,108 --> 00:13:27,171
and I say, thanks to the Lord of the universe,

195
00:13:27,171 --> 00:13:38,831
and to Sri Shankara,
and Sri Ramana Maharshi, and Sri Poonjaji,

196
00:13:38,831 --> 00:13:44,221
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj,
Sri Yogi Ramsuratkumar, Sri Anandamayi Ma,

197
00:13:44,221 --> 00:13:50,925
all these beings who came,
and beings who came in our time also,

198
00:13:50,925 --> 00:13:54,065
to remind ...

199
00:13:54,065 --> 00:13:58,655
It perhaps will never take on
evangelical proportions, I don't know.

200
00:13:58,655 --> 00:14:02,087
It's too radically simple.

201
00:14:02,087 --> 00:14:07,555
The Truth is simple,
but the seekers of Truth are complex,

202
00:14:07,555 --> 00:14:11,595
and we always are attached to our complexity.

203
00:14:11,595 --> 00:14:14,535
We are tripping over ourselves all the time,


204
00:14:14,535 --> 00:14:20,431
because we're not still enough to see
that we don't have to do so much,

205
00:14:20,431 --> 00:14:26,344
but keep quiet, and look,
with the guidance that has been given to you,

206
00:14:26,344 --> 00:14:31,914
and find the Truth that your heart longs for 
so much.

207
00:14:31,914 --> 00:14:36,802
I'm not speaking poetry to you.

208
00:14:36,802 --> 00:14:38,104
[Q.] Love you!

209
00:14:38,104 --> 00:14:41,037
[M.] I love you too.
[Q.] Love you, love you.

210
00:14:41,037 --> 00:14:42,881
[Mooji] Very good.
