Live As Though You Don't Exist (with subtitles)
Monte Sahaja, Portugal August 2014
[Mooji] These are moods, this is our past, this is our life.
Look! [points to sky] [laughter] Life is like this.
You wake up, you don't know if it is going to be a cloudy day.
What kind of clouds? Clouds, motion starts.
This is your life. Isn't it?
Something is not caught in that.
Always you look, it is the sky. I look, sky, that is all.
You are not, 'Clouds, rainbow'. OK, maybe.
There is a storm coming. OK, it is fine.
You have to look at your emotions, your life and psychological thinking,
it is all just like this, it is nothing.
Isn't it good? It is nothing!
'Oh, this thing happened yesterday.' Yesterday? [laughter]
[Friend] What! [Mooji] Get out of here! [laughter]
[Mooji] Who talks about the sky yesterday?
So like this, this is it.
This is our life, our life,
the lives of all our families, the life of the whole world,
the life of the universe, this is it.
[music]
[Mooji] Everything is good.
Every part of it is good.
But everybody has their own take.
The holidaymaker doesn't like it, 'Whoa, my God!'
The farmer loves it, 'Hah, good, good'.
The sky doesn't mind. [laughter]
Only the one who is empty says, 'Ah, it's OK'.
It is like this, it is like that. It is OK, it is OK.
And then your mind is never depressed, it is never down.
The sky is never down.
Have you ever seen the sky walking between the trees somewhere?
'Leave him where he is.' [laughter]
The mind says, 'Oh, the sky is very dark, very gloomy'.
The sky doesn't know that.
Don't pay so much attention
to your feelings and your thoughts, and 'you'.
'You' also is a big cloud.
[laughter]
Who is this 'you'? Who is that?
When you are seen as a cloud as well, you are in a very good place.
'That guy?' [makes dismissing sound]
[laughter]
Only to a very advanced being, you can say,
'Live as though you don't exist'.
They will understand perfectly well what you speak.
Because there is so much freedom, so much light.
So everything, it is nothing at all.
You don't have to be how you were yesterday.
And tomorrow, what is that? Has anybody seen tomorrow?
Has anybody ever seen tomorrow?
Has anybody ever experienced tomorrow?
[laughter]
You move like that. You don't have to tell anybody about it.
Speak the language of daily life, but inside be in total serenity.
Be like this empty space. And you will find that ...
The mind says, 'But that is stupid, how can you live?'
Well, why don't you find out?
Mind says something and all your life you believe,
you never tried it, you just believed.
And so you stop something.
Now you try it and see.
How you are when you are not.
How are you when you are not?
People talk to you, 'What is your name?'
'Um, actually, I don't know!'
'Oh yes, you are cuckoo huh?'
'Yes, maybe.'
[laughter]
But you won't say that to ... I don't know, you wouldn't.
I'm going for a walk. Bye.
Don't pay so much attention to 'you'.
'You' also is a big cloud.
Only to a very advanced being you can say:
live as though you don't exist.
So much freedom.
So much light.
