Use This Life Well
(with subtitles)

Music clips: 'Moola Mantra', Deva Premal

[Mooji] That is the purpose of this body.

[M.] The highest purpose, as I perceive it,

[M.] is to use it to awaken to the Truth
of who you are.

[M.] If it is for some other purpose,

[M.] then the body is merely
the pyjamas of the being.

[Mooji] We are just sleeping in it.

[music]

[Questioner] I feel that the idea of the person

[Q.] exists only in the memory,
in my memory and in photos.

[Mooji] Even the idea of your own identity
exists also in your memory.

[Q.] Yes! Yes!

[Q.] By seeing that,
there is no more 'her' as a person ...

There is no more personal, tangible 'her', 'she'.

This catches me also that

there is no more tangible, personal 'me'.

This ... Yes.

[M.] It is the time to just let these things
soak in somehow.

[M.] Just be with that.

And keep your attention
only in that place of presence,

or even prior to presence.

When I say, prior to presence,
the feeling of your own existence,

and all that exists within your existence,

you are aware of it.

Sometimes I give this example that,

in the morning time, when consciousness wakes up,

when there is a waking state,

then, somehow, you come to feel
the presence of your being again.

In deep sleep it's not like that.

And as soon as the consciousness is available,
the feeling of 'I exist',

and as the one who is experiencing
the existence ...

The existence that is being experienced,

and the very functioning of experiencing,

are all the play of consciousness.
Consciousness is doing it.

Consciousness is sitting in this body,
in this chair.

Consciousness is here,
appearing through all of this.

Also as the flowers;
everything is the consciousness.

You are going to see this, more and more clearly.

You don't have to learn this.
I share these things with you,

but they will become spontaneously known in you.

That it is just that.

Even now you know that
you are experiencing consciousness.

Even now you know you are conscious!

You feel,
'I am this. I am here being conscious.'

But something is happening with some of you,
it is taking place,

that even the workings of this consciousness

are allowed to be what they are,
'I am still here'.

'I am the presence in whom
consciousness itself is manifesting.'

Consciousness itself is manifesting,

and all that appears in consciousness,

as is perceived in this particular body,

that belongs to consciousness.

You cannot share your dream with anybody.

Even the person
who is most intimate and close to you,

you cannot share your dream with them.

In the same way, you cannot share
your waking state with anyone,

in the unique way in which it is experienced
inside this body.

Everything is unique.

And yet beyond this, there is a meeting place.

A ground of being

that is beyond the changeful impressions,

which is eternally unchanging
and eternally fresh.

It is for this purpose that we come to satsang,

to find out, to go all the way.

Not to create, it is not about creating,

but discovering what is already so,

what is already here.

Somehow, it seems to be covered up

by our ideas about who we are.

Some beings ...
Not everyone is ready for that type of discovery.

It can be that it is sufficient,

just with your present identity,
to transact in the world.

You can go into the world
for the rest of this life

and not have to come to this place.

But at some point, you will have to come!

In some lifetime, you will have to come.

I say, We are here now. Use this life well!

Find out what can be found out now,

so that fear will trouble you no more.

No more living continuously in doubt or fear,
fear of death.

Some people have fear of life, even.

All this will go,

because they are the attributes
of the mind itself,

the deluded mind, not the natural mind.

The natural mind has no fear.

The natural mind has no fear.

It has no doubt. It is free of even identity.

It is clean and clear. Beautiful.

The natural mind and consciousness
are the same thing.

You cannot lose what is real.

It can only appear to be temporarily hidden.

Appear, I say, because truly it is not hidden.

[Mooji] From whom is it hidden?

[Mooji] From the one who appears to be separate.

[M.] I don't want to try to teach anybody
anything at all!

I say, Come on, enter the game of seeing.

Enter it. Don't speculate. Enter fully.

That is the purpose of this body.

[M.] The highest purpose, as I perceive it,

[M.] is to use it to awaken
to the Truth of who you are.

[M.] If it is used for some other purpose,

[Mooji] then the body
is merely the pyjamas of the being.

[Mooji] We are just sleeping in it.

[Mooji] So all the experiences, bitter and sweet,

are here to assist your seeing,

to come to a deeper understanding,

deeper seeing, deeper recognition,

to bring you again into the silence
of your own being,

to feel and experience through Ramana's eyes,

Shiva's heart, Krishna's love.

All of this is inside us.

It is not merely some poetic utterance.

It is pointing to the Truth.

But it has to be consciously experienced,
consciously recognised.

Because only when it is consciously recognised,

then it will dispel the delusion itself.

It is not enough to mentally agree.

It is not a mental agreement.
It's not an intellectual discovery.

But with your full mind and heart
you are discovering it.

All the powers in the world will help you.

Everything, the universe is helping you.

Very good.

[Mooji] Some beings ...
Not everyone is ready for that type of discovery.

It can be that it is sufficient,

just with your present identity,
to transact in the world.

You can go into the world
for the rest of this life

and not have to come to this place.

But at some point, you will have to come!

In some lifetime, you will have to come.

I say, We are here now. Use this life well!

Find out what can be found out now.
