Walk with Mooji Baba
[Mooji humming]
Drown in Him (with subtitles)
28 April 2015
[Mooji] Gifts that God give, that life give,
are not just for your enjoyment.
[Friend] Yes.
[Mooji] It is for your growth and for your maturity.
You think because something just comes along, because we often say,
'I didn't do anything for it, it just kind of happened'.
Like that is the certificate of goodness.
Because it just kind of happened, so it was a gift.
And then a lot of turmoil comes out of things.
When I speak about God like this, I know totally in my heart.
I see totally the perfection of all things.
But if you speak it, it can sound like,
'Why would God do something like that?'
People would go like, 'But why would God do something so messed up?'
I say, But it is messed up only from your mind.
You do not, as yet, have the maturity
to see the broader beauty of all of this, and the power.
I mean it is not that God made things to be beautiful.
Man wants things to be beautiful.
And everybody have a different idea of beauty.
God has to satisfy all these different ideas of beauty.
It doesn't work like that.
This is why ultimately the teachings can only go so far.
The rest must be that you have to drown in Him.
And then you won't know His nature, you will be His nature.
Then you will know.
If you know first, then you stand apart,
like you as a knower, and the knowledge and the thing known.
But when you merge in Him,
then you have the capacity.
It begins to emerge in you as a child of God,
or as the harmony of God playing. And it is very different!
It is a very different mind from the mind that is conjured up
through the phenomenal mind, the ego mind.
It is very different. It is not the whole mind.
It is always partial. And it is not impartial, it is partial.
It is always seen from a certain way.
And this is where conflict comes. It is not the whole mind.
Because if I begin to talk more about the ways of God, I can't stop!
I mean, I can't stop.
And then also the more I talk,
it is like the more limitation it seems.
The more I talk, it is like,
the more, the broader I give, I put it out, the more I see,
but that doesn't even touch God's toenails yet!
And the people who listen, they want to listen,
'Oh yes. OK. We got that now and so it's like this'.
They are listening in a very different kind of way.
But when I talk about God, it is just for joy! It is not for education.
If I talk about my parents, I don't want to talk about
what date they were born, and who was their lineage and their blood type.
No, I want to tell you about how kind and wonderful,
and the beautiful things we enjoyed together.
I don't want to tell you what my parent's blood type was,
and that my mother had sort of arthritis, and my father had kidney trouble.
I'm not going to tell you about their physiology!
I want to tell you that my dad was so great, so warm-hearted,
and just so full of love and so kind.
And he was always just ...
When I think of him, I am just totally on fire with this love
that my father generated in my heart.
Or my mother is strong,
and she is so funny but sometimes she is taken to be serious.
But I found the funniness in her that I thought was not there.
That's what I want to say! I don't want to talk about her birth certificate
and who her great-grandfather was.
I'm not interested in that so much, a little bit maybe.
When I speak about God, I don't want to talk about,
Look at all the wonderful trees that He made.
Yes, I can say about this.
I can say, He is size-less! He is in every atom!
I say, He is so full of love. He keeps all this.
He puts every capacity in these bodies to love and to find,
because it is all what He generates.
This ability to perceive and to experience,
and to know Him through His creation,
and to just rejoice and just to be happy that you exist!
And that you are He! I mean, what more can I say than this?
I don't want to talk about just ... I see it's all Him.
He made all this stuff and the trees, but I quickly forget them.
But I can't forget the love because it carries me every day.
It is breathing through these lungs. It is kind of ...
People say, 'You have so much energy'.
It is Him! [Mooji laughs]
When I go to sleep, it is Him! When I wake up, it is Him.
Him, 'I' ...
There is no space, there is no atom I want to save for me!
I don't want to save one atom as me. It is all Him!
So when it is all Him, then I have the confidence to speak and relax,
because everything I say, it's all Him.
I am not giving Him to somebody else, He is not else.
He is the life here.
He baptised the mind,
and took it out of the seat of delusion and dream,
and awakened it into the Supreme.
This is how I want to talk about my Father.
I don't want to talk about the mechanics,
and all the different levels of consciousness.
Oh yes, OK, OK.
But He is there, everywhere. [Mooji laughs]
This is why when the disciples asked Jesus,
'Can you show us the Father?'
He said, 'What are you saying?
Have I not been among you for so long?' He said that because of what?
He is one with ... He said, 'Through me you are knowing God.
Through what is here you are knowing God.
God is revealing Himself to you through this body
that you are calling Jesus.'
And there's nothing in here to separate itself as Jesus from God.
It is only Him.
But because of the play of humanity, I have to be Jesus.
And I have to call you Jennifer.
I've got to call you Gayatri, I've got to call you Krishnabai,
I've got to call you Janaki. I've got to call like this.
I have to refer and you have to refer to Mooji. But it's all Him!
[F.] Guruji, sometimes the greatest pain is like,
God has put this yearning for God inside me,
and I even feel blessed to have had that
[F.] because that itself is such a ... [M.] It's everything.
[F.] There's nothing more than that.
[F.] And what fortune to have that. [M.] Yes.
[F.] But it feels like, the yearning, sometimes it's yearning.
It feels like to have this idea of something less than God.
This arrogance to have this identity is such a pain sometimes,
because the yearning is there for God, and it is like,
it is only God who can fulfil it.
It doesn't really feel like sometimes
that there is anything I can really do,
other than just to sit at the feet of God.
[M.] You can do this. You're always sitting at the feet of God,
you're always sitting in the heart of God.
God has given you the capacity
to use the light of consciousness to reflect.
He has given you Mooji to talk and to show you the way.
That is very clear. To show you Himself inside you.
[Friend sniffling]
And you must listen and follow this, because it is not difficult.
In the past it has appeared in many difficult ways
because perhaps sometimes the instrument was not available,
you might say like that.
There were too many complex minds,
and as much as God can use it, He will use it. Like this, in a way.
Even that is a limitation to say. But He creates certain laws,
and certain principles to work a certain way.
He doesn't have to interfere with them,
unless He wants to because they work OK, fine.
But then sometimes an instrument, which He makes,
He makes out instruments,
is just right, and right time for Him to express,
to show in the simplest way, like a mirror.
We say a mirror because when you look at it,
it gives you a perfect reflection of your face.
But it is not you. It is even laterally inverted.
So your left here, if you were there
is really your right here in the mirror. You never really see it.
You never see yourself in the way that the others see you.
And the mirror shows a different thing.
But it doesn't give you any interpretation or any opinion.
And it never gives you any delay.
And the consciousness is as crystal clear as this thing.
And that is how it wants to reveal itself.
But as much as your mind can see it,
it becomes easier and easier and the mirror becomes clearer and clearer.
And in the end there is no need for any opinion
because it is right here. But it is not like a mirror,
because a mirror gives you a phenomenal reflection.
But this you must see even without the mirror now. At a certain point,
your seeing, your very understanding is taking place in front of you.
The source from where the understanding is coming from.
This you have to see.
Because in God it is not like ...
God is not like a library of knowledge.
Not a library of gifts.
He is not a storehouse storing up things.
So spontaneous, all things.
These trees don't know how old they are. They are just alive.
Consciousness is not interested in dates of births.
It just is.
It is the mind, which consciousness creates also this aspect
that pertains to the names and the forms, and the time and so on,
to function also as that aspect, as time and change.
It also belongs to God. He has got many departments.
But like a headmaster knows all the different subjects taught
in his school, on the compound, and can take any class,
the one who knows God can talk with any class of men.
Because he goes to the essence,
not to the kind of complexities, just to the essence.
Show them the essence. Because always we're looking for the essence.
If you're not searching for the essence, you are creating some complexity.
[Mooji] If I speak about my parents,
if I want to tell you about my father, my mother,
and I tell you only their genealogy, and their physical state,
and the date of birth, and what star sign they are and stuff like that,
I'm not introducing you to them.
They are something outside, there is just information.
But when I speak about the love that they have,
and what they transmit,
and the strength and the light,
then this I can demonstrate because it is in myself also.
This something comes to life
because this is the thing that we were talking before,
that I ask her, How was your day yesterday?
And she says, 'I can't remember'.
I said, It is true you cannot remember
because now your mind is becoming more pure again.
It is becoming so God-like now.
So you can't remember the details of yesterday.
What you cannot forget is the love that carries through.
Not the details about, 'Yes, 2 o'clock we did this and so and so did'.
You cannot remember those experiences
unless you have a strong mind and identity.
But as you are coming back into your spiritual
and consciousness, into your consciousness,
then what is the life in everything is the love,
that is what is the continuity.
Not the details, 'Oh, yesterday we did that,
and on Sunday we did that and then on Saturday we did this'.
And some people go back quite a long way
and hold on to these kind of fragments of events and time held in memory.
And that ...
And also there are some people,
they are so holding on to the idea they have of themself,
that even if they were sitting with God,
it would just become a kind of memory.
They can't let go of themself, they just hold onto the self-notion.
So it is like you don't grow.
Because you are always listening as your person. This is very bad.
That is the most poor visitor,
the one who just keeps up only holding onto their self-notion.
They are always in this ...
Nothing is allowed, the life is not allowed to go to the core.
Yes.
