Satsang with Mooji

In this excerpt from an online retreat, two participants share a similar concern that can arise along the path of true self-discovery — the fear of losing our connection with the world. Moojibaba clarifies that nothing of value can be lost by becoming fully awake and encourages us to persist with the exercise of observing with detachment. “Everyone can take this exercise — learn to observe with detachment. That is one of the greatest powers God gives you. It will bring you back to the fullness, the richness and the grace of your heart as it is. No one experiences greater joy and the purity of life like one who has awakened to themselves. Your heart is lacking nothing at all.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 29 October 2023

In this uplifting exchange from an online retreat, Moojibaba uses very simple examples and metaphors to help us discern the difference between the seeking person that we usually take ourselves to be, and the Awareness itself—our true being. “You are not going to create freedom. Only recognise and honour it. You are already that Awareness. But because so much attention is put on the mind, you say: 'But how can I get it to just be more calm so that eventually I can just be Awareness?' But even that effort is already perceived in Awareness. You have always been this Awareness.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 25 June 2023 ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express

In this direct, practical guidance, Moojibaba shares a master key for transcending the suffering of the personal mind. “My advice is to see that whatever you're experiencing—it's a mind state. Just be very, very broad about it. Whatever form it takes, see it as a state and not as a particular problem. What is perceiving it? This is the power of Awareness. Plain awareness is not involved in the mind stream. And that's what you are, the Awareness itself.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 12 April 2025 ~ If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: mooji.org/donate #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening

In this simple, profound talk, Moojibaba shares his core guidance to 'recede' or detach from all that we are experiencing, revealing the natural stillness and spaciousness of our true Being. "Recede, recede, until what point? Until nothing is being managed, everything is being perceived. All things, and even the reaction to them, become external, and something is left. It just is. This is the goal of all spiritual endeavors. You find yourself."

In this Satsang excerpt, Moojibaba offers clear, simple guidance on how we can consciously exercise our capacity to witness with detachment. Followed through persistently, this practice has the power to transform our lives and reveal our true nature as pure Being. “Witnessing means to be aware of something but to stay detached from it. In this witnessing, nothing is happening to me because I'm not involved. And from witnessing, something greater happens—Self-Awareness comes alive—and the scenes lose their magnetism for you. This is one of the most potent spiritual exercises.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 18 February 2025

Wherever we may be, whatever our outward circumstance, this is an invitation to be fully here, in the presence of God. Simple, deep and profound, in this meditation Moojibaba guides us into the direct recognition of stillness, which is revealed as our original and essential nature. "Let go and experience emptiness. Be the emptiness experiencing emptiness." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 19 April 2024

Moojibaba takes a student through a clear, step-by-step guidance into the core of Self-Inquiry. A practical, ever-relevant response to the question “how to observe with detachment?” “The feeling ‘I' in you: ‘I see, I think, I did, I know', who is the ‘I' that knows? Is it personal or impersonal? This is the most important discovery, because until you really realize this and know this, you take yourself to be an object, perceiving other objects.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 15 November 2024

In this heartfelt exchange, a student shares the transformation he has experienced through Satsang, but still seeks help with anger that occasionally arises in daily life. Moojibaba responds clearly and practically, highlighting the identity of the one who is apparently struggling with this issue. Through the guidance of observing with detachment, the anger is used as an opportunity to recognise our true nature as the uninvolved witness. “What keeps the anger alive? The sense of ‘me' is the fuel for this anger. Can the ‘me' also be included in the seeing? Can you recede to the space that is beyond even ‘me' and its anger? When you are out of it, you'll know immediately that it didn't exist. It doesn't exist in the place of being. It only exists in the place of becoming—the place of the person. But there is a place which is beyond autobiography—Here, the most true place.” ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: https://mooji.org/donate?tcode=mtv7 #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening

The transformative Satsang that follows is truly a direct darshan of the Self. Moojibaba sits with a small group and rather than taking many questions, he seizes upon a single, key pointer that every seeker must recognise, and continuously expands and expounds upon it until the entire room is marinating in clear seeing. It is recommended to listen deeply and follow Moojibaba step-by-step, as he guides us into the strikingly simple and profound recognition of our true nature. “There is a very subtle point that we must clear up today because it's been missed. It was just said, ‘I see that it's the “me”. The person is the problem.' So I say, for whom is the person the problem? Don't answer. Let it go in. For whom is the person the problem? We have time now. We're not going to make the mistake of having another question, because that's an escape plan. We're not going to escape today.”

In a climate of urgency and earnestness, Moojibaba invites us to recognise that which is beyond the phenomenal mind, person and world. From here, we can see the unreality of everything that appears, including the limited identity that we usually take ourselves to be. We are encouraged to use all situations that life brings to recede to the pure place of being and confirm that we are the untouched witness. “We are here for this: to clarify, to verify inside yourself that which can never go—that which alone is Eternal and perfect. I have the delight in my heart to tell you: it is you. But now it has to be proven.”

In response to some of his students, Moojibaba lovingly challenges everyone to make use of this clear inquiry which when followed earnestly, has the power to reveal our true nature as pure consciousness. "The fact is already here—everything is perceivable. That which is perceiving—can that itself be perceived? And if so, by what?" This deeply introspective guidance is at the heart of Moojibaba's pointings and the very climate of Monte Sahaja at the moment. Monte Sahaja, Portugal 15 October 2024

Moojibaba invites us into one of the most radical exercises to transcend the force of the mind: the I-watching exercise. By not following the constant stream of mind activity and returning to the space of witnessing, we begin to see through the layers of identity and revert to our true being—the essence of God within. 'Each time the mind arises, don't let it grow, don't water it; instead, bring it back into the emptiness from where the seeing of it is coming. The outcome of this is the Oneness of Reality. You are this Reality. What you are doing here is making a shortcut to freedom. This is a Master Pointing to that which is the Eternal about our Self.' Monte Sahaja, Portugal 9 September 2024

This inquiry is an urgent investigation into what is true beyond all appearances. Moojibaba emphasises the need for a mature seeker of Truth to be willing to let go of attachment to personal identity—not as a mental or philosophical exercise—and discover that which is beyond the relative world. With compassion and clarity, he guides us to see that much of what we consider to be our 'self'—our thoughts, feelings and even the person we think we are—are impermanent and unreliable. The seeming solidity of our personal identity is questioned, revealing that it is ultimately perceived by something far more stable, pure, and timeless. ‘Nothing is going to satisfy you—Thank God! Nothing in the universe is going to satisfy you. Nothing at all. Until you find your Self.'

During this morning with Moojibaba, we experience spontaneous existence as it unfolds in the presence of the Master. Throughout all of the encounters that take place, we witness and experience the grace of Self-knowledge: where knowing and being are one. “We are meant to find the Unity first, and then it manifests through the diversity. But we are attracted to the diversity, and we lose sight of the Unity. Open to the possibility that God Consciousness is unlimited. Open to the possibility of welcoming the unlimited in yourself. You already carry the seed—you are the seed." 24 August 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

This satsang took place at the Feira Alternativa Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, where many seekers of Truth had their first opportunity to meet Moojibaba in person and bring forward their questions. Whether you are new to Mooji's teachings or already familiar with his wisdom, this satsang offers a rich buffet of insights and guidance for all. In closing, Moojibaba leads the 'Just Be' exercise, guiding us into the direct experience of our timeless, ever-present being. Lisbon, Portugal 13 September 2024

Throughout this satsang, Moojibaba imparts timeless teachings that point directly to the heart of being. "If the person is being spoken about, it must imply that there is something more subtle than person. Before you entered into form, the Supreme whispered something deep inside your being. Now it's time to remember and awaken to it. Keep the fire of yearning to respond to grace. This call and response is coming from within you - it begins with faith and trust. Develop a little discipline, because grace is responding to your deeper ‘yes.' " 8 September 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

In this intimate and powerful talk, Moojibaba not only evokes the direct experience of unchanging awareness, but he also empowers us to confirm this here and now, in an authentic way. He inspires us to contemplate deeply, confirm our true place and discover the joy of living as impersonal awareness. “As you wake up to the presence, power, and universality of the beingness, you see that life is unfolding perfectly.” 14 August 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

Moojibaba shares the core of his teaching, beyond time, space or concept. He brings us the very present opportunity and direct way to find Truth – as he has done throughout these decades of sharing Satsang – and inspires a re-dedication of our hearts to This. “For one minute, try to be only awareness. Let the mind stuff happen, but don't feed it or identify with it. Be aware of it, but also be aware that you are being aware. Just for one minute. There is something inside you that is not pushed about by the mind, it causes witnessing of the mind to happen, but it's quite apart. Just this. What is your experience?” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 11 July 2024

Moojibaba takes us by the hand into fresh step-by-step inquiry—everything, every thought, suggestion, image or sensation presented is still perceivable from a deeper place. All that is required is to have enough trust to apply the simplicity of this guidance. ‘What do you have to do to be? Or is it more what you have to do to stop becoming. There is no end to the becoming, and there is no start to being… The simplicity is this. Abide in this, and bear the itch to be pulled into the mind-field…The scenes can keep on changing but the seer is unchanging. Come to know that.' 27 July 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

This important satsang looks into a subtle yet common pitfall along this path to freedom. This dialogue exposes where seeming knowledge can, in fact, become a pocket where personal identity remains unchallenged, and how with persistence and openness to look does one move beyond all these ego mechanisms. ‘Something you perceive today to be truth today in the phenomenal way, the next moment you question it. Can Truth be something that is true one day and not another day? It cannot be. And the Truth I'm speaking of has no opposite like a lie. Truth is just being. It is already here before the world arose in you.'

Moojibaba guides us to drop everything, and as a result we effortlessly remain as our true nature — the vast and limitless space of Being. ‘If you sit like this, the Truth will reveal itself in you. It is searching for the space that it can unfold its beauty in you. But we have been too busy planning to meet the Truth. Truth and yourself are one. Honour that.' 2 June 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

In this spontaneous satsang at the local café, Moojibaba shares his quintessential teaching and explores the subtle nature of our true Self. “The question ‘Who Am I?' provokes an introspection. All your relationships, all the knowledge, and all experiences are for ‘I'. What is ‘I'? ‘I' must be the experiencer. Before anything can be seen through the mind or the senses, it must report to this ‘I'. What knows even this ‘I'?" 14 June 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

Moojibaba guides an earnest seeker to go beyond fear and other distracting mental forces by engaging in a subtle and profound self-inquiry, the result of which can be felt instantaneously. “Something is afraid of the absence of you personally. The idea you have of yourself as a particular identity has been blocking you from going into the seemingly unknown. So the mind creates the unknown as a black hole, but what you are actually finding is that there is no black hole. When you can bear and be the emptiness-silence that you are, you are free.” 31 May 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

Moojibaba speaks with two people who share fears around living and dying. In both of these interactions, he gives us simple instructions on the way out of doubt and suffering, into the clarity of who we really are. He also offers a powerful guided sitting. "See if when you become empty, you are unhappy, see if you are suffering, see if you are anxious, see if there is any fear lingering in you, see if you are worried about life or death, because you will have the capacity to see. Don't destroy—look with detachment, follow just this. It works." 14 April Monte Sahaja, Portugal

In a deep and reflective tone, Moojibaba brings alive a timeless contemplation that reveals the essence of who we truly are. Listen and imbibe deeply. "Beyond I, Beyond 'I am'. First must be 'I am', then the world will come. Prior to 'I am', I Am. What knows it Is? These contemplations dry up the muddy waters of the mind." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 21 April 2024

In this short excerpt from the recent Satsang Intensive in Lisbon, Moojibaba invites us to plunge into the heart of Self-inquiry. It is direct, profound, joyful and immediate. “Beyond even the subtle ‘I', who are you now?”

In this short and powerful guidance from the April 2024 Awakening Intensive in Lisbon, Moojibaba offers us the key back to overcome the subtle tricks of the mind. Watch, follow and empower your discernment with great joy. “Stay only as the formless witness. Don't pick up anything from the mind.” Lisbon, Portugal 4 April 2024

This rich satsang invites us into the ‘Commitment to Self-Discovery' guidance—a profound sitting exercise from Moojibaba to ‘Just Be'. By putting our attention on Beingness, we are led from the forest of delusion to the sky of Pure Awareness. "Any sensation can come. The sky, limitless, infinite, unending, welcomes all visitors. Moon, sun, clouds, rainbows. It doesn't complain, it manifests them. Yet nothing sticks. Everything is a tourist floating by, like all things born of time. This is why the sages say, 'You are the sky of Pure Awareness.' Monte Sahaja, Portugal 15 November 2023

In recent times, Moojibaba has been offering a direct and crystal clear guided exercise for abiding in the natural state of Beingness. Seekers of truth from all backgrounds are finding this "Just Be" exercise highly relatable, immediate, and unexpectedly profound. When followed with earnestness and persistence, it acts as a mirror that reveals and supports the abidance in and as the non-dual Awareness. "Have the attitude of leaving everything and keep the attention only in the natural sense that you exist and that you are here. Make a conscious choice not to engage or to be pulled into your mind stream. Just be aware of it, don't fight it, but stay empty, consciously." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 3 March 2024

On this day, Moojibaba records an audio guidance first thing in the morning, and shares it with a few members of the sangha. During lunchtime, Moojibaba joins the sangha in the dining area and shares this guidance: to begin the day with a 15-minute sitting to help stabilise attention in the space of presence. This exercise complements the “Just Be” guidance that the sangha has been focusing on, providing a deeper understanding of this sitting. If you are new to this guidance, you can find more videos that go to the heart of this exercise here: https://mooji.org/collections/a-commitment-to-self-discovery-2 Monte Sahaja, Portugal 3 March 2024 ~ This is an excerpt from the Satsang "This Exercise Prepares You for Non-Dual Realisation”, available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/se/this-exercise-prepares-you-for-non-dual-realisation Sahaja Express is a powerful self-realisation support for earnest and dedicated seekers of Truth.

Moojibaba met with some sangha friends from the nearby village. What started off as a short visit for a cup of tea, turned into a profound inquiry into the nature of the Self. This Satsang is full of essential pointers that are a great aid for anyone seeking spiritual liberation. "It's all God's book, and He writes the book. There's only God, and God is not an entity—He is the totality of all there is and can ever be. And your essence is He. He who is in search of himself finds God. And he who is in search of God finds himself.” Aldeia, Portugal 23 February 2024

Moojibaba offers grounding guidance to a devoted student seeking help. He encourages her to continue with the current exercise, saying that these fluctuations from person to presence are normal in the process of awakening. "I'm not disappointed, because I know that we have to go through this. You have to taste failure. You have to taste what it's like to be back in your mind when you've been in your heart. It doesn't feel good, does it? But you know that's not your real place. There's something in you that is not touched. It doesn't belong to the world. It's not touched by your moods or the world. It's independent of that. That space is the only thing about you that's permanent. This body will go. The mind will go. All these things will go except This."

Moojibaba shows us how to bring the mind to the heart and awaken to the light of perfection within us. A profound satsang that brings us to the heart of self-discovery. “It's almost as though to find yourself, we have to remove something—like you have to forget yourself. Somehow we have to let go of all the ideas we have about ourselves. Bring the attention to beingness. Relative to what it sees, the witness does not come and go. Even the functioning of witnessing is perceived. What remains? Is it personal or impersonal? No one can say—only you can say.”

A student seeks clarification on what Nisargadatta Maharaj meant when he said, "I have no use for my Beingness." We are directed to an experiential discovery that cannot be grasped through the knowledge of the mind. “We want to experience our dreams. We want to experience fulfilment in a phenomenal world. We want to preserve our sense of identity, who we believe we are, and yet who we believe we are is absolutely not true. Above all, you have the sense that 'I exist'. Nisargadatta Maharaj is saying, "Before this 'I exist' feeling, I truly am." 31 January 2024 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

This music video is an outpouring of love from the Sangha for Moojibaba's 70th birthday. It is comprised of 140 different International Sangha groups and 60 musicians from around the world, all expressing deep reverence and gratitude for our Master's guidance and presence in our lives. May we live by the Light and Truth that you reveal in us, Moojibaba, and may we continue to see the whole world as one family, one people, and one heart.

Moojibaba offers potent guidance on surrender through a practical exercise known as 'The Basket of God.' He highlights the significance of persistently choosing to offer up egoic tendencies, unveiling the Timeless and Imperishable Self. "Don't carry your bag of troubles around; put it all in the basket of God."

We are very happy to share this powerful Satsang with Moojibaba which took place on New Year's Eve. Moojibaba invites us to celebrate the New Year in the highest way: in contemplation of the eternal, timeless Self.

Moojibaba offers this powerful message for Christmas: say “Yes!” to God inside your heart, and with sincerity, ask for help. In this spirit of humility and surrender, everything is possible. Mooji shares how this attitude of consciously inviting God's help, combined with the recent sitting exercise he has been sharing with us, is the most powerful way to transcend ego. May this powerful message of awakening reach all who are in search of true and lasting happiness. Merry Christmas!

Recently, Moojibaba has put a powerful focus on taking time to simply sit and bring our full attention and focus to resting in and as pure awareness. We are happy to share this powerful guided exercise with you in support of the full recognition and awakening to the timeless Self. 29 November 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: https://mooji.org/donate?tcode=mtv7 #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening

Mostly in life, we cooperate with our ego self, which goes by the name of ‘I'. Here, we are offered this practical and immediate guidance, “A Commitment to Self-Discovery”, to train the attention to abide in the pure Awareness Self—our true Being. This exercise, when combined with persistence, some discipline, courage, and a little faith, leads to the transcending of the limitations of the personal ‘I'

Recently, Moojibaba has introduced a potent exercise for all earnest seekers of truth: A Commitment to Self-Discovery. This exercise grants the clarity and strength to begin observing the realm of thoughts, feelings, and sensations with detachment. It reveals the true presence of being as our stable ground and dissolves the force of the mind and its projections. This is the true power of self-discovery.

Moojibaba shares a very powerful and simple daily practice that brings us into the heart of being. Many people around the world have incorporated this exercise into their daily lives and are testifying to the immense fruits of this new call for commitment and dedication to Self-discovery. “I want you to sit and just be aware of your sense of being, just the sense of ‘I am.' However often the mind comes, it's ok—don't fight, just come back to awareness. Even if you felt you did not succeed, you will feel a difference. There is a power in learning to observe with detachment, even if you think you fail, just do it! This exercise is going to change your life, but only if you persist. This is the greatest gift you are giving to yourself, ever.” 28 November 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

Upcoming Online Awakening Intensive — 27 - 29 October https://mooji.org/events/online-awakening-intensive-oct-2023 This 3-day Online Awakening Intensive is a fresh calling from Moojibaba into the heart of true seeing. Moojibaba's heart wish is to meet us in the highest way, in the light of our own application of the core guidance offered. Rather than dwelling on personal stories, we are guided into the timeless discovery of Truth. ~ A student asks for freedom from the mind and shares how it creates a sense of bondage through the weight of personal responsibilities. Moojibaba's guidance cuts through all doubts and allows us to confirm the deep stillness and peace within. “My path is a very peaceful path, yet the most powerful. It is the most powerful because it confirms the deep stillness and peace within you, so you know through direct experience that God is the core of your being. Not a fleeting experience, but the substratum of all experiencing. Look, clarify and confirm your own Presence, which is sitting in the all-ness of God.” ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express If you would like to support the sharing of Satsang, you can donate here: https://mooji.org/donate?tcode=mtv7 #Mooji #satsang #spirituality #advaita #nonduality #awakening

Moojibaba offers this core pointing for learning to observe our thoughts, feelings and sense of self with detachment. “Honour your capacity to observe with detachment. Learn to observe your mind, the person and it's world by sitting inside your own awareness.” 25 February 2023 Portugal, Monte Sahaja

Do life's challenges come predestined for our spiritual growth? Moojibaba directs our attention to that which is beyond all challenges and the influence of the ego. From this perspective it becomes evident how life takes care of life. "Everyone who has an ego is dominated by the mind. When you are grounded in beingness, you are seeing with more godly eyes, and you don't have to plan or control anything. Your capacity as consciousness is to see everything in the highest light." 18 August 2023 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

We all know we exist. But as what do we exist? Moojibaba speaks about the sense ‘I Am', the sense of being, and encourages us to sit in this, as this. He continues that even this 'I Am'-ness can subside and what remains is the core of Awareness, the wordless state. “But make sure this doesn't become a concept. Stay with the sense of being and cross over the ocean of Samsara into the land of beingness.” This is an extremely powerful and practical guidance that can be listened to over and over again.

Many seekers of truth complain of how noisy and restless the monkey mind can play, especially when there is an intention to be self aware as presence. Moojibaba offers a straightforward guidance that exposes the monkey identity and reveals the pure space of the uninvolved witness. “How to stop the monkey mind? — When you observe the mind with detachment, without logging into its energy it automatically slows down and is replaced by a sense of impersonal presence — which is definitely not monkey food. It's time to sit and just observe — let go of everything.”

This simple and easy to follow meditation directs the attention back to its source. We are guided to not identify with the body, thoughts or feelings but to remain as the detached witness. Like this we experience how it is to be just aware, how spacious, how natural. In a short time we find ourself back in our original, pure and timeless being. “There is no technique of how to be. Just remember and be this. Fall in love with it. Protect it from the mind. Don't keep going into identity and all of this you will see remains always with you, as you.”

"Sometimes there is a deep, unrecognised message inside your being that you're going to fail." Moojibaba exposes the false identity that is built around the idea of "not being good enough." This seed of unworthiness is the source of suffering, but it can be overcome by simply observing the minds fluctuations without interest. From this detached space of being we find true freedom from the burdens of self-doubt and fear. "Don't just fall in love with practice. Do it and fall in love with that which it reveals in you. As long as your intention is for this, in your striving, help and grace will come to you."

This satsang is an absolute gem and master pointing on Self Inquiry. It exposes the falsehood of the personal ´I´ and is highly recommended for repeated viewing to confirm our true essence as pure awareness. "What is your position in this act of perceiving? Are you looking from the mind? Or are you looking at the mind? And if you are looking at the mind, who are you that's looking?"

This must-watch satsang is at the very heart of Moojibaba's pointings. By remaining as the detached witness we are able to observe the mind and all its tricks which are appearing on the screen of consciousness. Our work is simply to remain as awareness no matter what appears on the screen. Like this, the mind's power diminishes and peace is experienced effortlessly. "Mind is producing different scenarios all the time. But at the place I speak from, it doesn't matter where you go, on the bus, on the train, on the airplane, on a rock. It doesn't matter. It's still the same. This is why I say, nothing else is really so much my teaching. We are not going to be afraid of the darkness, because when the darkness comes, it only helps to polish our brightness."
