Some beings will walk with you for the duration of this bodily existence, up to the very end. Some will come with bright promises, bright lights, but they fade quickly. Others come, they don’t look like they will go very far, but they are marathon runners; they’re there with you all the time. You cannot determine this... Somehow in the flow of your own unique river, you will see that everything is as it should be.
Mooji

If you give yourself one complete minute of focused presence, to simply stop; even to listen to your heart beating, it will take you out of your head and introduce you to the moment which is complete in itself.

Mooji

Go beyond everything. Don't collect anything.
A king does not need to go shopping in his own
kingdom. Nor does he beg.
Remember, you are the inner reality-pure awareness only.
All that arises are appearances in consciousness.
Don't bother with all that. Rest only as the awareness.
This is the secret.

Mooji

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.
Mooji
If you do not believe in the natural progression of events, the brain assumes control and it turns into a plan of action, driven by uneasiness. This lack of faith is unjust. Life has provided us with such an abundance, yet we still doubt it.
16.
If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.
Mooji
If I could impart only one piece of wisdom, I would suggest: Divest yourself of all attachment. Be completely vacant - nobody. Erase your identity and observe if anything meaningful is sacrificed apart from illusion.

In the land of "I know," there is always competitiveness, jealousy, pretence, pride and arrogance. It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship.

Mooji
'Emotions are fleeting, embrace their presence and release them.'

The emptiness I speak about is not the emptiness the mind imagines. It is not blank. Your body can continue expressing in a natural way. Intelligence is there. Emotions can come. Everything can play, but inside there is total serenity and peace. No planning, no strategising, no personal identity is there. Just the space of pure being. It is what we are, but we dream and believe we are not.
Mooji
21.
Let the world call you lazy for not running about like a frightened ghost. Just be quiet inside yourself. Don't bother about knowing how things should be and simply begin observing without prejudice, projections or desires. Notice how life flows of its own accord. Nothing here is a chaos, but a harmony. You are already inside this flow.
Mooji
22.
Life cannot be against you, for you are Life itself. Life can only seem to go against the ego's projections, which are rarely the truth.

Life cannot oppose you, for you are Life itself. The ego's fantasies frequently do not reflect reality, which may be perceived as going against you.

There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self.

Her sweetest fruit:
untouched Presence.
