Let Go Of All Your Concepts
-
A message from Sri Mooji
as he leaves for London (with subtitles)
-
[Mooji] If I have to say something, really ...
-
Again, always I have tried so much
-
to crystallise things in some kind of nutshell
-
because I don't think
that teaching really works, actually.
-
I think that the teachings
and learning and studying
-
and all of these have their place,
-
they are part of consciousness' expression,
-
but on the whole, it doesn't work.
I've found it like this.
-
Because the learner is usually the mind.
-
And it just perpetuates that
-
there is somebody who is learning something
-
to get somewhere.
-
Which has its validity, also,
-
because it's inside the great play
of consciousness.
-
So, don't any of you go out and dismiss any path
-
because I don't dismiss them!
-
I only say that still, it's inside the great ...
They are phenomenal.
-
That is all I say.
-
I don't have trouble with phenomenality,
because without it,
-
the sense of you and me being here
wouldn't be existing.
-
And I don't regret that.
-
I don't have a problem with duality
-
because duality is necessarily here,
-
for experiencing to occur.
-
The whole idea of awakening
has to happen through duality.
-
Seeking and finding, individuality,
are all the play of duality.
-
So I do not dismiss duality.
I've only transcended it, also.
-
But I'm also in it, playing in it, as well.
-
I am not ashamed of that, not afraid of that,
-
I'm enjoying that,
-
because this is also God's breath and God's play.
-
And all of it is good. All of it I love.
-
Even the parts I hate, I love.
-
Because it comes from Him, it is only Him.
-
So, this is the one thing.
-
But if I have to boil down something,
-
for those of you, I don't know how many,
-
who are really pushing inside for the final Truth.
-
Not because it's a competition,
-
not because it's the greatest thing to do,
-
but because there is an urge
already alive in you,
-
that is listening to what has been shown,
-
what I've been shown, myself,
-
and using it, actually, to go beyond all trouble.
-
Then, it will come down to simply this.
-
Don't believe, finally, in any concept.
-
Go beyond the field of concepts.
-
Because in the realm of concepts,
-
therein lies your own identity,
-
and the perpetuating of trouble.
-
Everything is in the identity.
-
It's not duality that is the problem,
it is identity.
-
It is not duality that is any trouble.
-
It is personal identity that is causing it.
-
That is the germ, and it is germ warfare,
-
based upon the idea that
-
you are merely your body and conditioning.
-
And the beings must fight
to go beyond this limitation,
-
because the whole world has been poisoned by it.
-
I hope that somewhere, amongst us here ...
-
Even if one or two alone sprout.
-
But it is not my wish!
-
My wish is that everyone will sprout in it.
-
Everyone sprouting in it just means that
-
somehow there is a real finality of seeing
-
in the heart, not in the head.
-
Because many people speak these things
I'm telling you now
-
but I don't buy it from them,
-
because they still carry the smell of person.
-
They are still invested in the person.
-
I don't dismiss them, I only tell them,
You have to go more than this.
-
You have to let go of all your concepts,
-
because concepts by themselves won't do,
they fall short of the goal.
-
The goal is no place other than your own Self.
-
These are paradoxes
that have troubled the world for a long time,
-
because we can't get over our self.
-
We're always including our self, personally,
in everything.
-
Finally, that personal seed has to be seen
as being phenomenal.
-
When you see that from your heart,
then all this ...
-
Not the dream is over,
-
the dream is not bad, the dream is fine.
-
But the nightmare, the delusion, the hypnosis,
that will be over.
-
Then you can walk on this planet, on this Earth,
-
as an embodiment of that understanding.
-
It is not a mental understanding.
-
Because when you understand this,
-
your whole being is transformed
into the light of God.
-
I don't see any higher purpose than this,
-
because everything else will be swallowed by time.
-
Everything else will become past.
-
But these words shall never pass.
This will never pass.
-
It will never pass.
-
If you find That, and be one with That,
-
everything will be OK with you.
-
This is my final thing, I say just today,
like that, here.
-
Whatever you perceive, including yourself,
is phenomenal.
-
Leave it alone.
-
I have got to go.
-
[laughter]
-
[Friends] We love you.
-
[Mooji] Love you too.
-
[Friends] Sri Moojiji Ki! Jai!
