Keep Quiet -Papaji

Keep Quiet

by knowing you are not the ego that has to keep Quiet.

This Quietness, this Silence,
has nothing to do with talking or not talking
because even when you are not talking
your mind is continually racing everywhere.

• No thought rising from your mind is this Silence.

• Awareness of any object is not it.

• The one who is aware of awareness is it!

Surrender is to surrender your concept of separateness,
your ego.

You must surrender like a river discharging into the Ocean.
Surrender is to discharge your river of separateness
into the ocean of Being, losing your limitations,
and allowing to happen what happens.

You cannot find and kill the mind, it is the ten headed demon.

Chop off a head and another will grow back because
"I am bound" and "I am free" is exactly the same trap.
so only the desire for freedom will help you
because you are what you think.

Think to destroy the mind and mind is a destroyer, not destroyed.
Think of Freedom and you become Freedom.

As persistent as the pain of a toothache, always think of Self,
because if the desire for Freedom is continuous
then all other habits and distractions will drop away.

ॐ Papaji

throw away your ideas

If you want to go all the way, throw everything away.

And right there, there is joy, freedom and lightness.

Strip everything and bring everything to nothing.

Throw your attachments, your desires, your needs road and you are immediately in a state of total novelty. Total wholeness.

Every human being would occasionally need to do this. The serious seeker develops this relentless attitude to free their minds of cholesterol of ego identity. Be in that emptiness and then you see that emptiness is completeness.

And the more you do, the more you rejoice in the effortlessness of everything.

Now ignore the voice of the interpretation-giver, the reporter, the bookkeeper, the mathematician and in a short time you will not want him back. If you want to go all the way, throw everything away.

We are one -Joseph Campbel

"Stephen, strolling along the shore,
is thinking of the relationship of visible things to their source—of a son to a father, of Hamlet to Shakespeare, of himself to the ground of his being—and he comes to the relationship of Jesus, the Son, to God the Father, which is a Christian problem.

It Jesus is God, and his Father is God also, what then is the relationship? Jesus said, "I and my Father are one," and those words brought him to the cross. Sufi mystic al-Hallaj said the same thing, "1 and my Beloved are one," and he too was crucified.

This is the mystic realization: you and that divine Immortal being of beings of which you are a particle, are one. The classical statement of the Idea is "tat teem asi," "you are that," and the famous formula in the Chandogya Upanishad: "you are yourself the divine mystery you wish to know.' "I and my father are one."

Joseph Campbell (commenting on a passage in Jam. Joyce's Ulysses), from Mythic Worlds, Modern Words, p.71

Communication

It is impossible to communicate an experience to someone who has not had the experience.

Try to communicate the experience of skiing down a wonderful mountain slope to someone who has never been on skis. Try to communicate the experience of being in love when it happens to people who have never known this experience. It cannot be done.

You can speak only by analogy. For a system of mythological symbols to work it must be operating in the field of a community of people who have essentially analogous experiences; otherwise, nothing is happening there."


Joseph Campbell, Collected Audio Lecture 11.2.5, "Creative Mythology"

Become the watcher of the person

It's Tuesday now. The bus is leaving tomorrow afternoon. Then you say, 'I am sorry, I have tried, Mooji.'

But who are you? I have proven to you that this one you refer to as yourself is not true. I have proven 'you', personally, can never be true. You are born a lie as a person You are only true as the Heart/Presence. You must come to your Heart/Presence because this is the voice this world needs to hear from and longs to see.

For a long time you have been trading as an ego, but here we don't use this currency. The currency here is Presence. These are the options that are available to you: to continue as a person or to recognise the Presence as your real Self.

When everything is burnt, ego will not rise from the ashes of this white tire. You must not survive a meeting with the guru.  You should not survive this retreat as ego. I feel you have a choice in this. -

Be the watcher of the person

I have never had such difficulties with my ego than in these last two days.  I feel I am holding you at a distance, and a lot of arrogance has come up.

Mooji: It is the sixth day now.

The retreat ends tomorrow. And I have been pointing you over and over and over to the same thing. I don't want to go through your person again. Enough time has been given to that. Don't talk about the person anymore. The person Is apparently searching for Freedom but Freedom Is from the person, not for the person.

You need to be free of the person, for no person has ever been free.

It's about time you took my words to Heart. I have not come here to work on your terms. Your terms, your concepts, have not worked. Now you speak of arrogance, but I don't acknowledge your arrogance. I don't acknowledge you anymore, not as a person. I don't want to hear from the person. I want to hear from the one who sees the person but is not the person. When are you going to be in this position?

Look to the source

Julie Gallagher Mooji sangha 3 hours 's

If you wish to find love,  don't look for the object of love,

look instead for the source of love,

for there you will meet and merge with the Beloved -- your inmost Being."
