Quote

Attention pays attention to a lot of things, but when attention pays attention to attention, then there is a stillness, and that stillness introduces you to your Self.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.
Mooji
Image
No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.
Mooji
Image
The game is not set. There are so many layers that it is being perceived on. As your own consciousness becomes more refined, the game changes.

Image
The ship is going by a mighty engine, and you are busy rowing.
Mooji
Image
I don't tell you what you should do or not do I only show you who you are -the timeless and unchanging awareness. When this is firmly established inside you, your life will unfold spontaneously and joyously.
Mooji

Keeping quiet means being without any techniques, effort or intention to meditate... not following the thought stream.
Mooji
Image
There is a mystery within all beings bursting to reveal itself, in the ones who become quiet enough to discover it. In this discovery a benevolent force shines spontaneously from your presence towards all beings, and this light cannot help but illuminate the world.
Mooji
Image
For those whose heart and whose attention is immersed in the truth, they don't need to have to worry.
Mooji
Image
There is a Silence that is totally impersonal. It is not the fruit of anybody’s work. Peace is there, but there is no peacekeeper. This Peace is only known when the noise of the person is not present. In the absence of the 'person' there are no distractions. Only the ever-pure Awareness prevails. The Ultimate is nobody’s achievement at all.
Mooji
Image
There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.
Mooji
Image
Don't try to change the world. First, change yourself or rather, your self-perception, and you find the world automatically corresponding to the level of your understanding. You will find that it has always been you who set the pace and depth of your experience by recognizing and honoring your true nature.
Mooji
Image
Don't be too quick to interpret the moment. Just keep quiet. My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing. Why should it be different? Just be quiet. Let it all work itself out.

If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.
Mooji
Image
The Self is the one thing you can discover, not by travelling miles, but by being very still inside your own being and saying to the Supreme, Yes, absorb me.
Mooji

Be in the spirit of Truth and any words you speak are in alignment with that spirit.
