‘I Want to Be Mooji’
Love is freedom, not control; having a Guru means problems belong to the Guru, not you - the best gift to suffering children is your freedom, not your suffering.
I love my children very much.
Love, you have no trouble, it’s not really a concept no? Mothers love is beyond all concepts, any love is beyond all concepts. It’s just natural even for other species who don’t have language love can…so it is not love that is the problem.
No maybe it’s a controlling love someHmes.
So control is not love. Love is freedom, control is wanHng, control is desire.
Is it wrong to want your children to be happy.
[Laughing] It depends, you maybe fixated on your idea of what their happiness means. [Silence] And without your idea of them being happy God would stop doing his job, all these Gods [Pictures of various Gurus] that are looking at you are powerless without your thinking about their happiness. [Laughing]
[Laughing-Crying] That is possible
Exactly, they don’t know what to do, they are just Gods, you have to tell them what to do? You must be their God then because you give them guidance. [Chuckling]
Because of Anna’s condiHon, her sickness freaks me out, and this makes me unable to be an instrument of God.
But it would be best for her to be in the Presence of an instrument of God.
This is why I said I’ve been wanHng to be Mooji. [Satguru Mooji Baba] [Crying]
You know the best way to be Mooji, best way to be Guruji, just hold his hand. [Silence] It is not to become something, it is to just be in the refuge of the Master. [Silence]
But I’m crying heavily.
Crying could be anything, crying is okay.
I know it’s okay.
What is the number one suffering thought?
That my child is suffering. And that makes the other child suffer as well.
Yes. And what is the best gie you can give to children who are suffering? Does your suffering help their suffering or does your freedom help their suffering?
Freedom. [Sighs]
So all of these Gods that are looking at you, you allow them or at least one of them to take control of your life and run it otherwise it’s pointless having all these Gods around. It’s like buying the best brand of vacuum cleaner in the word and then just keeping it on the side and you yourself moping the floors with your hands and doing the cleanup. [Silence] So to have a Guru and a problem at the same Hme is wasHng the Guru. You can either have a Guru or a problem. Which one you want?
[Chuckling] The Guru.
That’s it. Having a Guru means all problems belong to the Guru. They don’t belong to you. Good, good, good. You know my love and blessing s are always with you and I’m praying to Guruji [Mooji Baba] his grace takes care of whatever needs to be taken care of. But then you just have to trust that that Grace is taking care and don’t take on so much addiHonal burden onto yourself. The acHviHes that are happening from your body can conHnue to happen to help your children but the mental burden and the mental pressure you take onto to yourself you can transfer it at the feet of the Master. [Silence] Because it is that mental burden which is Hresome.
Yes
And you don’t need to carry it anymore.
