For many years I worked as an artist.
At times I felt I had produced my best work,
but now I realise that my being,
and all beings, are the living work of art
in the hands of the master artist,
the Lord himself.
~ Mooji
Each time the attention goes to the head
wanting to solve something,
I point you to the Heart,
where everything is nicely dissolved
in perfect Wholeness.
~ Mooji
When man pursues experience,
he becomes the body.
When he pursues knowledge,
he becomes the mind.
When he pursues God,
he becomes the Heart.
When he pursues Truth,
he becomes Nothing.
~ Mooji
(From White Fire ~ Second Edition)
Don’t be too quick to interpret.
Just keep quiet.
My encouragement is:
Never think anything is against you.
Take everything as a blessing.
Why should it be different?
Just be quiet and observe.
See how everything works out beautifully.
~Mooji
The one who observes himself
finds all things unfolding in their proper time
with grace and appropriateness.
He relaxes inside his own silence,
enjoying his harmony with all of life.
~ Mooji
Happy Birthday Moojibaba!
Beloved Gurudev,
Today we honour the day you came into this physical form.
What a beautiful paradox that we are joyfully celebrating
the birth of the Unborn!
We are eternally grateful that you came to us in this life ...
Don’t fight with the mind.
Just focus on your natural sense of being.
And immediately, the mind begins to quieten down.
This is a simple and easy way
to discover and remain as the heart.
- Mooji
Beloved, please listen:
It is not wise to compare your life to that of others,
for each life stream is unique and is the expression of
pure spirit and being. Know within your heart
that your life is tailor-made for awakening ...
Each time the attention goes to the head
wanting to solve something,
I point you to the Heart,
where everything is nicely dissolved
in perfect Wholeness.
~Mooji
You don’t have to fight.
You only have to keep choosing Truth.
Only Truth.
Let Grace fight for you if needed.
You just keep choosing,
‘Yes, I choose the true.’..
Don’t touch any thought, concept or feeling.
Don’t touch any intention.
Don’t touch past, present or future.
Leave everything aside.
Whatever you perceive or experience
are like clouds passing.
Observe them, but don’t log in to their energy...
If today was your last day in this body,
would the mind's chatter, plans or desires
hold any real value for you?
No. Then why not live from this attitude now?
~ Mooji
This is your time with God.
This is the peace of Christ,
the love of God.
Think no more — be filled
with the power of the Holy Spirit.
We have come to introduce
the light of Christ in each one.
~ Mooji
It is only when you sit truthfully
inside your Self
that you can be truly generous
in your expression.
And you find there is not any ‘you’,
in the personal sense, being generous
—life itself becomes
the manifestation of generosity
when the ego is no more.
~ Mooji
True spirituality is without pride.
It neither judges nor dismisses
the diverse expressions of life.
In fact, it brings you back
into the true life of peace,
wisdom, joy and harmony.
~Mooji
I do not know anything. I do not know anyone.
There is just this unfading joy dancing inside my heart
whenever I am blessed to see a human being
free from the delusion of ego and expressing gratitude
to the Almighty.
~ Mooji
Don't worry about anything at all.
You are not here by accident.
This form is just a costume for a while.
But the one who is behind the costume,
this one is eternal.
You must know this...
If your intuition says,
“It’s time to let go of a personal story,”
mind may project a doubt and fear
of losing something of value.
But if you really feel this inside your heart,
Grace will take you beyond
needless suffering into your natural being.
~ Mooji
Whenever mind’s noise comes,
remember Mooji’s voice:
It’s all nothing, nothing, nothing.
Watch your Self, not your mind.
Instant mind-wipe.
~ Mooji
(From White Fire ~ Second Edition)
Let life unfold without identity.
Leave space for the unexpected.
Give up the habit of predicting,
interpreting and projecting.
Simply stay in the neutrality of Being
so that you perceive all from the mountaintop
of your Heart-mind.
~ Mooji
Not one thing in the universe
has a single inherent meaning.
The meaning of a thing is
in the mind of the perceiver
and not in the object of perception.
~ Mooji
When you realise that you know nothing,
a space of openness and humility prevails.
Then real understanding enters the mind
and guides it to the Heart.
~ Mooji
Do not cling to any concept or belief
of how life should be, for you will feel radiant
when your projections are unfolding favourably
but when they are not, you will crumble...
Don’t waste time
watching and reacting
to the minds of ‘others’.
Your own mind
causes more trouble
than the minds of everyone
put together.
~ Mooji
From White Fire ~ Second Edition
Does the sun know night?
Does it even know day?
You can worship the sun.
You can dry your clothes in the sun,
but this is not the sun’s job.
It only shines.
The Self is like this.
~ Mooji
Even during the most turbulent and darkest of times throughout all of human history there have been those who were at peace and in a deep state of centeredness, trusting in life and in God...
Seek forgiveness of those
whom you have judged.
Keep your heart empty,
light, open and free
from all worries and grievances.
Remain quiet inside your being.
~ Mooji
(From White Fire ~ Second Edition)
Life is only now.
It can never be yesterday
or tomorrow.
These are only concepts.
One of the worst things
is to miss the recognition
of your own good fortune.
You are life itself
and the one witnessing it.
~ Mooji
From White Fire ~ Second Edition
So much of our memory
is based upon a very subjective
interpretation of events.
Changing our perception through
the benefit of greater understanding
essentially changes the past.
~ Mooji
Mind will not attack
when you are One with being.
Is yourself separate from being?
Reflect.
Not two. Not even one.
No separation. No union even.
Just What Is.
~ Mooji
Remain inside as the inside itself.
Don't hold this thought that you are journeying
towards the Beloved, because, strangely,
that endorses and intensifies the sense of separation.
What you are searching for is actually what
you have never been apart from. A paradox.
~ Mooji
Just quietly vanish inside yourself.
Disappear. So beautiful.
A form is still here, but inside—no one.
Speak to nobody about this
for they simply cannot understand.
This is something only between
you and your Lord.
~ Mooji
Whatever happens in your head is not you.
Whatever happens in your body is not you.
Whatever happens in the world is not you.
Whatever happens is not you.
Yet none of it can exist without you,
the perceiver of it all.
~ Mooji
(from 'White Fire')
A true meeting of the Heart is like
water being poured into water.
Neither division or separation is there.
When one finds the Truth,
neither the seeker nor the finder remain.
Whose discovery is this?
~Mooji
SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI JAYANTI
30 December 1879 - 14 April 1950
Salutations and boundless gratitude, love and veneration to
Sri Ramana Maharshi.
‘The Self is the only One.
If it is limited, it is the ego.
If unlimited, it is infinite. It is the Reality.’
~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
When you don’t know yourself,
you think others can know you,
but when you know what you are,
you realise no one can know you.
No one can grasp the magnificence
of that which you truly are.
~ Mooji
Mind wants to run—let him.
Mind wants to rest—let him.
He wants to climb a tree—let him climb.
But see: can he climb without you?
Can he rest without you?
Can he run without your knowing?
That’s mind . . . but who are you?
- Mooji
Don’t hold on
to any shape at all,
remain shapeless.
Why be a thing when, in truth,
you are that vast awareness
in which everything is seen?
Reflect upon this.
~ Mooji
The one who observes himself
finds all things unfolding in their proper time
with grace and appropriateness.
He relaxes inside his own silence,
enjoying his harmony with all of life.
~ Mooji
Real surrender is
when that which you most treasure
is offered wholeheartedly to the Infinite.
Include yourself in this offering.
~ Mooji
From White Fire ~ Second Edition
Be humble and wise.
Neither compare nor compete.
Don’t belong to anyone.
Don’t belong to anything.
Be one with your own indivisible being.
You needn’t become.
Just be.
~ Mooji
From White Fire ~ Second Edition
As long as there is a wanting
for someone or something
to make you happy,
this is a sure way to create
a sense of lacking and
misery in yourself.
~ Mooji
The more you feel you are disappearing,
the more in fact you are discovering
your real nature and Self, which is limitless.
A tiny ego-identity is being exchanged
for the Immeasurable.
Is this not the best deal going?
- Mooji
If in your heart
you have chosen Truth,
then trust your experience
because something guides
and protects you.
When your search is genuine
and your heart is humble,
life protects you.
But if you keep some arrogance,
be sure trouble will come.
~ Mooji
Go through this forest
called existence
and come out the other side
as Buddha,
as the pure Christ Light,
as Shiva Being.
This forest can take lifetimes . . .
and yet this forest
is only a dream.
~ Mooji
If you wish to be happy,
no one can stop you.
Similarly, if you wish to be free,
no one can stop you.
In fact, the universe encourages and
aids your freedom. Why?
Because to be happy and free
is your natural state.
~Mooji
Initially, people don’t easily grasp what I am pointing to
because they are used to hearing and following with
their mind only. But I am not speaking to their mind;
I am speaking directly to the heart...
Open your heart and keep quiet.
Now feel the grace and spirit that is ever flowing.
This flow will never be broken,
for its source is infinite stillness.
~Mooji
If you pray for someone,
don’t pray merely that they fulfil
your personal ideas
of what you think is good for them.
Pray and bless that they find their way home
to the Truth they were born to discover.
~Mooji
All beings love themselves first and best,
but the sage does not have
this special love for a personal self,
for he is without personhood.
The sage simply is,
but his is-ness inspires
love and devotion in the whole world.
~ Moon
There is only the limitless Self.
Know that the knowledge of this
and even the knower of this
is only the limitless Self.
~ Mooji
From White Fire Second Edition
Your own being created me in your life
to remind you of who you truly are.
But don’t depend on my form,
make use of the presence I am.
It is a perfect reflection of the Truth you are.
Don’t delay your way home.
~ Mooji
