Mooji's Christmas Message

Monte Sahaja
25th December 2013

[Mooji] People have not heard this message
from me,

Don't identify with anything,
don't identify with your body,

don't identify with gender,
don't identify with any religion,

don't identify with any name deeply.

Superficially, yes, it's OK,
superficially, it's OK,

but deeply don't combine yourself
with anything at all.

You might be working as a doctor,

but don't think in your heart
that you are a doctor.

When you get rid of all these associations,

all these ideas and all these identities,

then strangely, amazingly,
something fresh arises from inside,

that has been awaiting discovery
for a very long time.

But a human being has to become completely naked,
empty of every concept.

We imagine that this is hard,
but it is actually very easy,

and it's something that we need to try.

Because if you've not tried it before,

you have not really lived,
until you are empty, empty.

Everyone should taste what it is
before we picked up identity.

Once we became clothed
with this phenomenal identity,

we came into a kind of trap.

It's as though we exchanged our universality

for a state of conditioning and identity.

What I'm telling you is the most generous,

the most loving, the most liberating thing.

But there is some persistence in us,

and an attitude, habit to identify as something.

We feel naked without it,
well, the wrong kind of naked.

We feel, 'Oh, without being somebody, I'm nobody',
which is true,

but we take that like that is something bad.

When you're nobody,
you're not a member of any cult, the nobody cult.

There is no such thing at all,
but you should at least taste it.

Don't identify with being anybody,
with somebody, or even with nobody.

And instantly, it shouldn't take long, instantly,

you will feel the space of your Being. Instantly!

Not even medicine works as quick as that.

Instantly you drop your notions about personhood,

who you are, who you want to be,
and immediately you are free!

So that would be my Christmas message
I would send to you.

Anywhere in the world,
it can go to any human being,

it is compatible with any culture.

This message is compatible
with any state of mind, any culture.

Somebody from these places
will hear what I'm speaking and will apply it.

It's not a Christian message,

it's not a Muslim message,
it's not a Buddhist message.

It's universal.

It's a universal invitation
that will reveal something in you.

I would say,
it is a great sadness to miss this opportunity,

to deny your Self, deny your Self.

Deny your ego-self
and discover the Self you could never not be,

and then move in life, move in life.

You will move like the wind.
The wind has no name.

When the wind moves,
it's not called Wednesday's wind,

it's not called Antarctic wind.

The mind gives it that name,
but the wind has no name.

You will move like that, you will live like that.

The air has no name, the water has no name.

We call it water,
but water doesn't call itself water.

Anybody who tastes that, don't worry,

it's not that you won't be able to talk.
You will talk.

You'll still be able to relate to other beings

at a superficial level, which is fine.

Your body will not be dead,
so the bodily existence, it will continue.

But for the first time,
something will pull you to the inmost room,

the roomless room,

and then you will know automatically

what I have been talking about all these years.

The one who has never been born,
who never grows old,

who never grows tired, who never hates;
this one you will know.

And this thing, I say, Christmas message, why?

Because on Christmas Day you can get it!

I'm not giving you a Christmas message
that you'll get on New Year's Day.

I give you this message
like I give you a present for Christmas,

you'll open it on Christmas Day.

I will give you this present on Christmas Day,

and you can know it on Christmas Day.

You don't have to wait for Boxing Day,
New Year's Eve,

New Year's Day, next year.

So what a beautiful present,
it doesn't come in any wrapping paper.

This would be my gift to all,
whoever will receive it.
