In recent times, Moojibaba has been offering a direct and crystal clear guided exercise for abiding in the natural state of Beingness. Seekers of truth from all backgrounds are finding this "Just Be" exercise highly relatable, immediate, and unexpectedly profound. When followed with earnestness and persistence, it acts as a mirror that reveals and supports the abidance in and as the non-dual Awareness. "Have the attitude of leaving everything and keep the attention only in the natural sense that you exist and that you are here. Make a conscious choice not to engage or to be pulled into your mind stream. Just be aware of it, don't fight it, but stay empty, consciously." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 3 March 2024
On this day, Moojibaba records an audio guidance first thing in the morning, and shares it with a few members of the sangha. During lunchtime, Moojibaba joins the sangha in the dining area and shares this guidance: to begin the day with a 15-minute sitting to help stabilise attention in the space of presence. This exercise complements the “Just Be” guidance that the sangha has been focusing on, providing a deeper understanding of this sitting.

Moojibaba met with some sangha friends from the nearby village. What started off as a short visit for a cup of tea, turned into a profound inquiry into the nature of the Self. This Satsang is full of essential pointers that are a great aid for anyone seeking spiritual liberation. "It's all God's book, and He writes the book. There's only God, and God is not an entity—He is the totality of all there is and can ever be. And your essence is He. He who is in search of himself finds God. And he who is in search of God finds himself.” Aldeia, Portugal 23 February 2024
Moojibaba offers grounding guidance to a devoted student seeking help. He encourages her to continue with the current exercise, saying that these fluctuations from person to presence are normal in the process of awakening. "I'm not disappointed, because I know that we have to go through this. You have to taste failure. You have to taste what it's like to be back in your mind when you've been in your heart. It doesn't feel good, does it? But you know that's not your real place. There's something in you that is not touched. It doesn't belong to the world. It's not touched by your moods or the world. It's independent of that. That space is the only thing about you that's permanent. This body will go. The mind will go. All these things will go except This."
Moojibaba shows us how to bring the mind to the heart and awaken to the light of perfection within us. A profound satsang that brings us to the heart of self-discovery. “It’s almost as though to find yourself, we have to remove something—like you have to forget yourself. Somehow we have to let go of all the ideas we have about ourselves. Bring the attention to beingness. Relative to what it sees, the witness does not come and go. Even the functioning of witnessing is perceived. What remains? Is it personal or impersonal? No one can say—only you can say.”
A student seeks clarification on what Nisargadatta Maharaj meant when he said, "I have no use for my Beingness." We are directed to an experiential discovery that cannot be grasped through the knowledge of the mind. “We want to experience our dreams. We want to experience fulfilment in a phenomenal world. We want to preserve our sense of identity, who we believe we are, and yet who we believe we are is absolutely not true. Above all, you have the sense that 'I exist'. Nisargadatta Maharaj is saying, "Before this 'I exist' feeling, I truly am." 31 January 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal
This music video is an outpouring of love from the Sangha for Moojibaba’s 70th birthday. It is comprised of 140 different International Sangha groups and 60 musicians from around the world, all expressing deep reverence and gratitude for our Master's guidance and presence in our lives. May we live by the Light and Truth that you reveal in us, Moojibaba, and may we continue to see the whole world as one family, one people, and one heart.
Moojibaba offers potent guidance on surrender through a practical exercise known as 'The Basket of God.' He highlights the significance of persistently choosing to offer up egoic tendencies, unveiling the Timeless and Imperishable Self. "Don't carry your bag of troubles around; put it all in the basket of God."
We are very happy to share this powerful Satsang with Moojibaba which took place on New Year's Eve. Moojibaba invites us to celebrate the New Year in the highest way: in contemplation of the eternal, timeless Self.
Moojibaba offers this powerful message for Christmas: say “Yes!” to God inside your heart, and with sincerity, ask for help. In this spirit of humility and surrender, everything is possible. Mooji shares how this attitude of consciously inviting God’s help, combined with the recent sitting exercise he has been sharing with us, is the most powerful way to transcend ego. May this powerful message of awakening reach all who are in search of true and lasting happiness. Merry Christmas!
Recently, Moojibaba has put a powerful focus on taking time to simply sit and bring our full attention and focus to resting in and as pure awareness. We are happy to share this powerful guided exercise with you in support of the full recognition and awakening to the timeless Self. 29 November 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: https://mooji.org/donate?tcode=mtv7 #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening
Mostly in life, we cooperate with our ego self, which goes by the name of ‘I’. Here, we are offered this practical and immediate guidance, “A Commitment to Self-Discovery”, to train the attention to abide in the pure Awareness Self—our true Being. This exercise, when combined with persistence, some discipline, courage, and a little faith, leads to the transcending of the limitations of the personal ‘I’
Recently, Moojibaba has introduced a potent exercise for all earnest seekers of truth: A Commitment to Self-Discovery. This exercise grants the clarity and strength to begin observing the realm of thoughts, feelings, and sensations with detachment. It reveals the true presence of being as our stable ground and dissolves the force of the mind and its projections. This is the true power of self-discovery.
Moojibaba shares a very powerful and simple daily practice that brings us into the heart of being. Many people around the world have incorporated this exercise into their daily lives and are testifying to the immense fruits of this new call for commitment and dedication to Self-discovery. “I want you to sit and just be aware of your sense of being, just the sense of ‘I am.’ However often the mind comes, it’s ok—don’t fight, just come back to awareness. Even if you felt you did not succeed, you will feel a difference. There is a power in learning to observe with detachment, even if you think you fail, just do it! This exercise is going to change your life, but only if you persist. This is the greatest gift you are giving to yourself, ever.” 28 November 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal
Upcoming Online Awakening Intensive — 27 - 29 October https://mooji.org/events/online-awakening-intensive-oct-2023 This 3-day Online Awakening Intensive is a fresh calling from Moojibaba into the heart of true seeing. Moojibaba’s heart wish is to meet us in the highest way, in the light of our own application of the core guidance offered. Rather than dwelling on personal stories, we are guided into the timeless discovery of Truth. ~ A student asks for freedom from the mind and shares how it creates a sense of bondage through the weight of personal responsibilities. Moojibaba's guidance cuts through all doubts and allows us to confirm the deep stillness and peace within. “My path is a very peaceful path, yet the most powerful. It is the most powerful because it confirms the deep stillness and peace within you, so you know through direct experience that God is the core of your being. Not a fleeting experience, but the substratum of all experiencing. Look, clarify and confirm your own Presence, which is sitting in the all-ness of God.” ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: https://mooji.org/donate?tcode=mtv7 #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening
Moojibaba offers this core pointing for learning to observe our thoughts, feelings and sense of self with detachment. “Honour your capacity to observe with detachment. Learn to observe your mind, the person and it’s world by sitting inside your own awareness.” 25 February 2023 Portugal, Monte Sahaja
Do life's challenges come predestined for our spiritual growth? Moojibaba directs our attention to that which is beyond all challenges and the influence of the ego. From this perspective it becomes evident how life takes care of life. "Everyone who has an ego is dominated by the mind. When you are grounded in beingness, you are seeing with more godly eyes, and you don't have to plan or control anything. Your capacity as consciousness is to see everything in the highest light." 18 August 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal
We all know we exist. But as what do we exist? Moojibaba speaks about the sense ‘I Am’, the sense of being, and encourages us to sit in this, as this. He continues that even this 'I Am'-ness can subside and what remains is the core of Awareness, the wordless state. “But make sure this doesn’t become a concept. Stay with the sense of being and cross over the ocean of Samsara into the land of beingness.” This is an extremely powerful and practical guidance that can be listened to over and over again.
Many seekers of truth complain of how noisy and restless the monkey mind can play, especially when there is an intention to be self aware as presence. Moojibaba offers a straightforward guidance that exposes the monkey identity and reveals the pure space of the uninvolved witness. “How to stop the monkey mind? — When you observe the mind with detachment, without logging into its energy it automatically slows down and is replaced by a sense of impersonal presence — which is definitely not monkey food. It’s time to sit and just observe — let go of everything.”
This simple and easy to follow meditation directs the attention back to its source. We are guided to not identify with the body, thoughts or feelings but to remain as the detached witness. Like this we experience how it is to be just aware, how spacious, how natural. In a short time we find ourself back in our original, pure and timeless being. “There is no technique of how to be. Just remember and be this. Fall in love with it. Protect it from the mind. Don't keep going into identity and all of this you will see remains always with you, as you.”
"Sometimes there is a deep, unrecognised message inside your being that you're going to fail." Moojibaba exposes the false identity that is built around the idea of "not being good enough." This seed of unworthiness is the source of suffering, but it can be overcome by simply observing the minds fluctuations without interest. From this detached space of being we find true freedom from the burdens of self-doubt and fear. "Don't just fall in love with practice. Do it and fall in love with that which it reveals in you. As long as your intention is for this, in your striving, help and grace will come to you."
This satsang is an absolute gem and master pointing on Self Inquiry. It exposes the falsehood of the personal ´I´ and is highly recommended for repeated viewing to confirm our true essence as pure awareness. "What is your position in this act of perceiving? Are you looking from the mind? Or are you looking at the mind? And if you are looking at the mind, who are you that's looking?"
This must-watch satsang is at the very heart of Moojibaba's pointings. By remaining as the detached witness we are able to observe the mind and all its tricks which are appearing on the screen of consciousness. Our work is simply to remain as awareness no matter what appears on the screen. Like this, the mind's power diminishes and peace is experienced effortlessly. "Mind is producing different scenarios all the time. But at the place I speak from, it doesn't matter where you go, on the bus, on the train, on the airplane, on a rock. It doesn't matter. It's still the same. This is why I say, nothing else is really so much my teaching. We are not going to be afraid of the darkness, because when the darkness comes, it only helps to polish our brightness."
In this illuminating conversation, Mooji and Jonny Wilkinson delve into the true nature of our being, the quest for freedom, and the power of letting go. After a long and successful career as a rugby player, Jonny turned to exploring Self realisation, and we are very happy to share this uplifting interview. "If there's a shift, it's like a shift from person to presence. As you come more into presence and you begin to honor the presence, life becomes so much richer and broader in all its scope. All the antics of the person will gradually yield to the wiser being and you will know actually that within itself it is limitless and imperishable." Johnny Wilkinson "I Am" podcast https://i-am-with-jonny-wilkinson.simplecast.com/ Interview Bonus— Moojibaba's Story https://i-am-with-jonny-wilkinson.simplecast.com/episodes/bonus-moojibabas-story 17 May 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal
The best way to serve God is to be empty of the sense of a personal "you". By following Moojibaba's guidance we experience harmony with God and find absolute joy in the emptiness of being. "To seek God for the sake of finding God, I feel this is serving the whole world."
Often we desire things, believing they will bring immense happiness, but eventually realize they fall short of our expectations. Moojibaba shares that true fulfillment lies within our heart and to make use of this life to fully awaken to our true nature. "The call to awakening has to be in the now. There has to be the pulse of now-ness in you, because the rest is all mind and ego. There is something in us that easily falls asleep. Come out of the hole into the whole, the wholeness of grace and God's presence in you.
What does it mean to integrate? To continue to not identify with things that come up. We are not on a journey to refine the person — include also the sense of the person as a phenomenon perceived by something which cannot be seen. The person is a restless state, searching for rest in fulfilling its projections. Be here in your unchanging being. Your real journey begins within — in this within-ness, you learn to observe with detachment and discover your natural state.
Moojibaba's emphasis in this talk is on the importance of observing thoughts and sensations with detachment. From the stillness of the detached witness, peace and harmony infuse all of our daily interactions. "The whole world is like a passing show. When you're still, you gradually begin to feel the full power of your presence. It resonates like peace, like a solid peace, a well beingness, joy, silent, content, happy, not happy about, just happy. Happiness is your nature."
With a simple and direct approach, Moojibaba takes us to the heart of his guidance which leads to full and everlasting freedom. "Before you pick up any instruction, sit with yourself. Don't engage with the noise of the mind. Come back to the place of being. This is key. Being with it consciously and devotedly, everything comes right."
Moojibaba shares a simple 10 minute exercise to awaken to our true Self. The exercise involves sitting down and emptying one's mind, staying present and aware of oneself and observing thoughts and feelings without identifying with them. With practice, we become established in presence and experience a transformation in our being, realizing that the true self is not the mind-created identity, but consciousness itself. "If you can follow this, you will find real happiness, real joy, and realize how precious your life is. Not your life lived to satisfy your egoic and personal identity, but the life that is eternal, unending and beautiful."
