Satsang with Mooji
The Greatest Healing
An Invitation from London College of Spirituality
at The Institute of Education, London (with subtitles)
[laughter]
[Mooji] Who got that? [laughter]
Come. [applause and laughter]
This is good.
[Questioner] Hello. [M.] Hello there.
[Q.] I just came to ask if you'd give me some healing, please.
[Mooji] If? [Q.] If you'd give me some healing, please.
[Mooji] Give something a meaning? [laughter]
[Mooji] I didn't hear you. [Q.] Sorry, some healing.
[Mooji] Some healing? Aacha. [Q.] Please.
[Mooji] What is wrong with you?
[laughter]
I say this thing, because many times for people ...
It's become also sometimes ...
I went to one place. They are having a ...
'This room is for healing', or something like this.
And one girl was coming to me, she was very young.
And she'd been going to many healings.
So I asked her, What's wrong with you?
I don't think anything is wrong with you.
And she says, 'I just like to go there'. [laughter]
So I said, OK, it's fine if you like to do it, do it.
My thing is that nobody ...
If there is a healing to be made,
the healing will be to wake up.
This is the greatest healing.
To wake up from the sleep of thinking we are what we are not.
That would be the greatest healing,
because with this healing the world somehow becomes awake.
Even in your own Heart something takes place like that.
[Q.] That's the one I meant.
[laughter]
[Mooji] Yes. Then you have to know you are never sick.
What you are ... There's something inside you
which can never be sick.
It cannot die.
It is not subject to change.
It is beyond fear.
This is what I came here to share with you.
Something will die.
Or, you may call it recycled. Something.
And some of our thoughts, the way that we think,
who we think we are, this is continuously changeful.
But there is something beyond all of that,
even the witnessing of it.
When I call you to say, but all these things you talk about,
you are witnessing them.
If somebody came and asked you, 'Whose car is this?'
You say, 'It is mine'. You don't say, 'It is me'.
It's not what you are. It is something you possess.
And you can also say, 'My body is getting old'.
Again, 'My body'. It's like a possession, not what you are.
'My body, not me', 'My senses'. You can speak about it.
I say sometimes, The eyes are getting weaker.
Some people say to the doctor, 'My eyesight is really bad in this eye'.
So something is aware even of the weakening of eyesight.
It's not the eyesight. It is even watching the eyesight itself.
Sometimes people say, 'My breath is getting weaker also'.
So even the breath, you are not this breath.
Then one person he says,
'I had a conversation with this man, and my ego was crushed'.
So even ego, you are not. Something is aware even of ego.
Also of memory, some people say,
'My memory isn't as good as it used to be'.
So something is observing memory also.
My memory, not me. Not what I am.
Also, 'My intellectual faculties were much more sharp before'.
So the intellect also, something observes even intellect.
So, it is beyond even intellect. It's not there.
Then you say, 'My life is taking a turn for the worse',
or, 'My life is like this'.
'My life' also, this life that we speak about,
something is aware even of this life. It's not that.
Of time, past, present, future, also you are not this thing.
Something is aware of it.
What is time without you?
So who is the witness of all of these things?
Something right here [indicates inside] must confirm,
I am the one who perceives everything.
Everything, every change, even some sensations,
they are so subtle, there are no names for them,
but still they are perceived in consciousness.
All these things, they came after you.
Even knowledge came after you
because you are the witness of knowledge.
You are the knower of knowledge and of ignorance.
You are the earliest of all. Not you personally.
Even personality came after you.
You are there before even personality.
You say, 'My name'. Also, you're not the name.
The name came, also it was given. You are aware of the name.
So if all of these things were swept aside,
because something knows them,
something observes all these things,
what is it that remains?
The one that says 'I'.
'I am the perceiver of all of this.
I am the perceiver of thoughts, of emotions,
of time, of actions, of reactions,
of interactions, of change, of hope.
I am the one who perceives even belief.
Even understanding, even misunderstanding,
I am the one aware of it'. Is it not true?
Can't you say that? Don't you say it every day?
Who are you who observes all these things?
Can you yourself be observed?
We give a lot of energy to study many things,
which are only ephemeral, transient, temporary.
None of it is stable. Everything is coming and going.
We give so much loyalty, so much attention,
to what is passing.
But That which observes the passing of things,
does that Itself pass?
Who are you in the light of these words?
Are you also passing?
That which is witnessing passing, comings and goings,
is That coming and going?
What does It look like?
Can you take a photograph of that one?
Where is It now?
All your senses, for whom do they bring sensations?
Who is the taster of any experience?
These things a human being can know.
And it is good that you know. Because when you know this,
this world will become a much more quiet place,
a more peaceful place.
Then you will know that one which is beyond healing,
who is beyond birth, and death also.
While we have the chance to know that one,
which is undying, unborn, also,
where will you have to go to discover this Truth?
Do you have to step outside of yourself
to discover this Truth?
Satsang is for this purpose.
It brings you completely into the real life.
The joy which doesn't change.
The peace which cannot be broken.
And this peace does not need healing.
One time I was visiting some place, I think it was in Ireland,
and in satsang one lady says, 'I want to sing a song'.
OK, go sing a song.
And she starts to sing, 'Oh, my heart is broken'. [Mooji sings]
I said, Stop, stop, stop! [laughter]
I don't like that song. [laughter]
The real Heart cannot be broken. It cannot open or close.
The real Heart means the Truth, the abode of Truth.
Give up this type of lamenting,
[laughter]
when you can be so happy.
Even searching for happiness is quite an unhappy thing.
Who is that one who is aware of happiness, or sadness also?
What is the state of this One? Inquire.
Don't only live a life based upon assumptions.
If Truth is what we wish to know,
there's not a lot of things that you need to be told.
There's not a lot of experiences to gain.
Right where you are, as you are, enough is with you.
Only now, some urge must come.
Some urge must come.
This is the most important thing now.
