Enjoy what is enjoyable, we are ourselves joy, but without attachment, without dependency, without obsession, without need.
Don't take the attitude some feelings are welcome others not. Don't setup an 'immigration desk' for feelings and thoughts... say: 'anything can come, I don't mind.' Let anything come and hold on to you, but you hold on to nothing. This is freedom! Really, I am so serious about it. Because you can not chose your feelings. I said before in the same way you don't come to a restaurant carrying your own menu. Don't come to life with your own list of what you should have in your life. Be like this... be completely free! Let anything come and anything go... because nothing can take what you Are away. Be rooted in your own Being. Let them come, don't resist. Simply don't identify.
When I met Papaji, there was that impact, I knew I was Home. I felt his presence in the room and inside my heart. Even with eyes closed the presence of the master is felt, heard and seen. The master also speaks without words, works without labour, destroys without violence, liberates without struggle.
You must be in that place where inside and outside are in front of you. Outside and inside can be seen; where are you then? Who's the one who can see both? Where is the location of such one? There is no words for that place, nor directions.
The potential of being human is to discover that state within oneself which is beyond effort, which cannot be maintained or sustained. No effort is required for being.
Once that realization has occurred, one sees that oneself is not the moving part, not emotion, not time, not space, not body, not relationship, not contact, not separation, not mind, not senses, not anything that belongs to the interrelated play of opposites.
Knowing I am not that, leaving all that to dance; not striving to control what is by nature restless and moving, but realizing oneself as that unmoving being, then one is free. That alone is freedom. Freedom beyond the concept of freedom. Not someone being free; free of somebody-ness.
When you investigate the one who's interested in a life in the world, and you find out that...that one is just as much a perceived phenomenon as the 'world' is...somehow through this discovery the Self is revealed...where are your attachments in that moment of recognition?...where is your desire?...where are your fears?...where is your self-interest?...everything is blown away.
The senses are still functioning, the images of the world are still there...but the attachments and the fears are gone, because the one who would experience them disappeared...you are now the Self...This is what Bhagavan means when he says...
'When you are the Self, the world is not seen'...

Life - who lives it?
Knowledge - who seeks it?
Death - who fears it?
Paths - who follows them?
Enlightment - who attains it?
...
I do.
Now, find out what 'I' is.

You don't have to study so much.
The way in which mind studies
it accumulates information.
But you are the information-less Being.
Find That and be That!
And what needs to be known
arises spontaneously in you.

Questions appear real
for as long as you consider yourself
to be a person.
When you realize
you are the immutable Self,
all questions vanish.

Most human beings...many human beings, they don't like other human beings...because they reflect something which is inside themselves that they don't like...but they think no...no...no...it's in you...you carry this thing ...but if your empty of this trait that you see, that you don't like...it couldn't work like this, if your empty of it...then you don't see any judgement in it...When you are free of that judgement it ceases to appear, even external to you...you don't see it, or at least you look towards it with great compassion and understanding, because you know it's not intentional...We are not really ignorant by choice...it seems like something is hiding the seeing...so when we see someone, somehow triggers some discomfort within yourself...it's because somehow there is something there worth reflecting...Now I take you a step further than this...this which you are seeing in others and in yourself...this self that you find fault with, is only the idea you have of yourself...it is not the true Self...it is only the conditioned state...the idea, the learned self...the aquired self...the conditioned self...this is where all the bad smell is coming from...
You will continue taking on new bodies, until you've resolved your identity.
Questioner: I can see that I am one with everything...
Mooji: You cannot see your unicity. Not phenomenally. You can somehow know in the most intimate intuitive sense that you are all-inclusive. That all knowledge, all knowingness, must be arising out of and within your own self. There is a knowingness which cannot be put down on paper. It is a felt knowingness.
I can see what I am not. I can see the objects that I am not. They are connected with me, they appear in me. They maybe appear to be outside of my own self, but I cannot say I am held in them, because I am here to observe them. So what can I be?
This discovery - not speculation - has to happen. Actually, finally, and ultimately - and ultimately does not mean "in time". It does not mean "eventually". It means at the center, at the core, which is most intimate, that within which even intimacy is known. Can that be known? Non-phenomenally there is knowingness that I am That. But be careful! Something is quick to say, "Yes, yes, this is what I am." And this evidence must be rejected, and the one who is giving this evidence must be rejected.
And there must be the discernment to know, "This is false", to know that it is the intellect that is saying this. Because when this truth is felt, you are struck into silence. Therefore I say, though you seek a conceptual answer, perhaps a response of a different kind will take place.

The Self isn't particularly spiritual. Don't try to live a spiritual life, just find out who You are!
Spirituality is only to transcend that attachment, and that belief, in the body-mind identity.
The mind says 'How?', the heart says 'Now'.
A starving man is not "interested" in food, nor is drowning man "interested" in air. For one longing for liberation, self-knowledge is not an interest, it's vital.
If you think you are a human being, you're merely a puppet in this show.... you are before all beginnings and after all endings.
No matter how subtle the object of perception is, the perceiver is the most important, the most profound... allow the insight to happen.
Mind wants to go shopping , and come back with enlightenment.
The one who begins the enquiry will not end the enquiry , he will be ended by the enquiry!
The one who begins the enquiry will not end the enquiry , he will be ended by the enquiry!
Relax, There is nothing you have to do. Life is not waiting for your next move. You are Life.
Self-Enquiry is not a ritual. It is simply a tool, a mirror of God.
You are the master and your mind is your servant.
It is totally possible to realize the Self and be Free for ever end ever.
