[Mooji] When you come to the point
where this question is put to you,
'Can the perceiver be perceived?'
Of all the concepts that come in front of you,
none of them have power without you.
The one who perceives the concept, can it stand by itself?
You are the witness of them. You are the witness of it.
The question is, 'Can the witness be witnessed?'
Why is this question there?
Because intuitively you know you're in the position of the witness.
Spontaneously you know, when we refer to the witness of all else,
it is you, not another.
The witness has the taste of, 'I am. I am the one who witnesses'.
But somehow this question is there,
because the sense 'I am' is given over to the body.
It's been given over to a sense of individuality,
of being a person.
When you say 'I', constantly we are thinking of person.
So the question is,
'Can that which perceives even the person,
even the sense of personality be perceived
intuitively in the feeling 'I'?'
Then can this 'I' itself be a person?
Can the 'I' be perceived? And you, only you can find out.
Then my answers are no use to you. You are on your own now.
In this moment you deserve to be on your own.
Have the courage to be on your own,
and look by yourself.
Until you became awake, this world could not appear.
Until you awaken in the morning,
first the consciousness is present,
and then the feeling 'I am'.
Until this happens, the world cannot appear.
It has no permission to appear until you appear.
Have you considered these things?
Even all the great beings in the world cannot come until the light is on,
and you are there.
Who are you?
Prove me wrong.
If the consciousness is not there,
if the feeling 'I am' is not there, can anything else be there?
In the line of perceiving,
is there anything earlier than the 'I am'?
The very light of consciousness
and all the goings-on of consciousness
comes into living colour, technicolour, in the waking state.
For whom is all this magnificent world dancing?
Is it not for you?
You are the perceiver of it.
So not looking at it, but the one who sees it, what happens?
Some have found out.
Some are finding out.
Maybe they don't answer with words anymore,
but the discovery is oozing out of your presence, when you see.
It is not what you say with your words,
but what you have assimilated, what you have seen for yourself.
You alone can see.
And this question is your key into your own Self.
You stay with this question,
and then raise any question, any doubt,
any problem that you have had prior to the arising of this question.
Put in front of yourself any question, any doubt that you have ever had
and see if it can stand in front of you. Do it.
I have not come here to entertain you,
to waste my time, your time, talking. I want to see if you take it.
You have made the effort to come here, now fulfil it.
Until then, you're bringing second rate,
third rate questions and observations, tired old things,
as though they are meaningful.
Now accept this question.
Have the courage to see the auspiciousness of this question.
Stay with it, because it is your question.
And then tell me, raise up any doubt,
any question, any doubt, any problem that you can ever have,
and place it in the presence of this question,
and see if it can stand.
And this is my challenge to you.
Then when you speak, you can put an intelligent question.
Don't keep talking domestic questions.
Fish and chip questions.
Put something that really gets the pulse going,
Take a risk.
Put forward that question or that doubt,
that is throbbing in the core of your being.
Don't offer questions about relationships.
Yes, yeah OK. We pass OK, OK.
'What do you think about?' No, please, my God.
How much torture?
But a question, 'Who sees all these things'?
Root your attention in this question.
And tell me that even death, does it frighten you?
Do it. And this I offer everyone now.
All the books are offering so much,
so many concepts, so many ideas,
so many paths to walk, things to see, things to do,
practices to make, mantras to make, pilgrimages.
We won't be cynical with these, but we don't need this now.
You have come again to the Source.
Can the 'I' be perceived?
You, only you can find out!
You're on your own now.
