There Is Just One Being Here - 19th March 2018

It's very good for one moment, but because you have made it so, coconut thoughts will continue to come. Let them come and let them go. And sometimes they are picked up, and that is fine, because now you are what you are. You are what you have always been. If you want to see even that it is 'done' is not true, because it was never undone. In reality, nothing has happened. And that which we call suffering has been all about a 'me'. And I've asked this question thousands of times in the last five years: 'Who has found this me?' What you did find is the voice of doubt which says, 'But what happens after satsang? I become a me.' This voice which is like... but you never become a 'me'. You exist or you don't exist? Just for a minute, just for a second, don't exist. For whom is this being called 'me'? The mind has convinced you that it is something limited, it is something personal. It is not. You can check this for yourself.

So what is here? Whatever is your favorite way to address the supreme power, there it is. God, Satguru, Ram. Look in your heart and see if it is present. Mooji is Mooji because who he is, is this God. Whose God is here? I think that the mind only has one trick. The mind only has one trick, which is to convince you that this holy presence is something personal, something limited. But it is not true. You, this being, is the one being. What will be just beyond time and space? This being, your being, has seen the birth of time, has seen the birth of the universe, and will see the dissolution of that and the dissolution of the sense 'I am'. This is your being. But you are beyond even that. You are that which is even aware of the movement of this, your own aspect.

This life, this 'I am', is the dynamic, it is the phenomena. The sense 'I am' arises and the play of all of this starts, but you are that in which this appears and dissolves. This primal witnessing is pure knowingness. It's just here. So first, this one... this is one phenomenal style. It's on the carpet of existence. 'I am the mass that I am something.' And you would feel... but you know this has never really applied to you. You are beyond time and space. No distinction is real for you. Not even the distinction of non-phenomenal and phenomenal is important for you. Forget about all these phenomenal distinctions, but even this primary seeming distinction... that is why the beautiful Bhajan itself says to the Saguna Brahman, it is Saguna, Nirguna, it is all the same. Whether I consider you as this being with attributes or that which is without any attribute, attribute-less or from the particulates, there is only one being, one Self here.

All the terminology that you have learned even at satsang can safely be kept aside. There is no use for it. All appearances come and go. The prime witness is not making any distinctions. This is game over. No interpretation, no judgment, no distinction. Who are you now? Everything that appears to you is you, and that to which it is appearing is you. There are no two. Wake up! Non-duality. Everything appearing is you, that to whom it is appearing is you. That you are just one. To make a distinction is the doorway to misery, and that is also your choice. Nothing will happen to you. The play of misery, we can call it. All has been explained, all is now understood. Where did you come to? You came to your motionless existence.

Now the mind has just one final trick up its sleeve. 'But I know that you are Brahman.' The trick is: 'Now that I see I am that boundless ocean which the Satguru was speaking about, that with no limitations, no boundary that can reach the ends of the universe, the common Guru... what does that mean for this coconut body?' This is the trump card from the mind. But if you like, this also can go. If you have no concern for self-image, if you have no concern about what the world thinks of you and all of this, it will also be meaningless. Give this body complete freedom to experience all the sensations which might naturally appear. You don't have to control anything. I have to give you a bigger body? Just this entire universe's affluence. Complete freedom to allow whatever has to be experienced to come up.

Okay, let me ask you. You have this beautiful insight. Yes, you're having one of you having this beautiful insight. What is here? But there was something wrong with the... there is a glitch in this matrix of the appearance. And the one next to you gets the halo, and there is nobody saying 'I am'. There is the radiance about you. You must have seen the truth, but actually it belonged to you. But all this phenomena with it, they run to the one sitting next to you. Everybody is feeling like they became enlightened and this body is still this. This is what I mean. Don't try to fill this out, your experience as delusion with this coconut. If it means nothing at all for the appearance of this body, and yet in your heart you are clear that you're not this insight about what you are, would that be enough for you? You are in this for the truth or truth-seeking? See if all the byproducts of your pure insight were to be made visible somewhere else. No benefits for you. Let's say with no benefits for this body which you consider to be 'me', because every body is your body. All appearances in the one consciousness.

You might feel like you have been writing the biography too speedily. That was wrong. 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago, it might have felt like the writing of this biography, there has been some control over the life of this one. Now as you are letting go, you're finding that the pen has been moving on its own. And even if the story of this one has to stop now, it makes no difference to your Self. Some of you know that there's been this project, part of the book we haven't released yet, namely 'Kesar'. But the feeling was to take these Atma pointers from all over the world's cultures which point to the same thing we here are pointing to, and to put them together as a sort of a compendium. I don't know whether it will actually be a book or a website, what it will turn out to be. But somebody found these beautiful verses for me for the book.

This is a poem called 'The Kingdom of God'. The first words of this poem: 'O world invisible, we view thee / O world intangible, we touch thee / O world unknowable, we know thee / Inapprehensible, we clutch thee.' Linking back to the clues, something over the clues. So this one has to lose one night at ten. There's another poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins which says: 'Thee, God, I come from, to thee go / All day long I like fountain flow / From thy hand out, sway about / In thy mighty trust then seem to be.' It's like the oil is inside the seed, just as the fire is inside the flintstone, God is inside you. If you have the power to wake up, then wake up. Kabir Ji would have said: 'If you have the power to wake up, then wake up, otherwise go in your ditch.' Kabir Ji also said: 'Guru is the washerman, man is the cloth.' Who is the washerman? 'Man is the cloth. Wash the soul, wash the mind clean thoroughly, out comes the glow of truth.' Guru is the washerman, man is the cloth. Wash the soul, wash the mind thoroughly clean, out comes the glow of truth.

Yes, like the pupil is in the eyes, your God lives inside you. The ignorant don't notice; they search for Him on the outside. 'When I was, then God was not. Now God is, and I am not.' All the darkness dissolved and I saw the light within. So the first part is: 'When I was, then God was not, and God is, and I am not.' In God now, all the darkness dissolved and I saw the light within. Which light is this? The light of your existence, your own presence. And I say, can you stop being this presence which is the uncontaminated you?

There's some Sufi mystics also: 'By day I praised You but never knew it. By night I slept with You without realizing. I'm seeing myself to be myself, but no, I was You and never knew it.' By day I praised You but never knew it. By night I slept with You without realizing. And seeing myself to be myself, but no, I was You and never knew this. This is by Rumi. It's very beautiful. This one, take a minute: 'By day I praised You but never knew it.' So either we might have the sense of 'I am' praising God, but the one that's praising God, what is that one? Who is that one that is praising? What are you made up of? Is it not the same Brahman? 'By night I slept with You without realizing.' So beautifully, because even in the sleep state when everything is gone, you are yourself as that primal witness. Even in the sleep state, I'm always being You. 'And seeing myself to be myself'—this fancying the pretense of individuality—'and seeing myself to be myself, but no, I was You, no I was You, never knew.' That is the value of self-knowledge, self-recognition, to see.

I say the mind's only trick is to convince you that you are something personal, but you are God. So the poet is saying, 'I'm seeing myself to be myself, no I was You.' What is here? What is now? Is there any judgment, interpretation, concept? Without anything phenomenal having to change, you just are. All concepts of isolation or endings... but forget all those. They never applied to you. No position you can take. No more pardons, no ritual of loyalty here in the play of these denials of Brahman, the moral qualities of this one. Thank you all so much for being in the company. Satguru Sri Mooji Baba Ki Jai.
