Sahaja Glimpses January 2025 (with subtitles)
[Mooji] We will walk with God
and that's walking in faith, in trust.
For without faith, it's fruitless.
Our faith in God is a power
that is not born through just a person.
So, let's move in what we have chosen in the heart.
Put our attention in the heart of the universe.
Hey, good good. Hello. Hey, hey. [laughs]
Excuse me. Very important satsang coming up.
[laughter]
We hold. [the motorcycle] What do you have?
Look at that! What is this? [Friend 1] Zucchini.
[M.] It's a weapon! [F.2] I was thinking of buying a Zuccini.
[Mooji] It's a weapon. [laughter]
[F.1] On the other side. [Mooji] Oh, that's very nice!
Wow! [Mooji taps the zucchini]
We can even eat. Somebody can carry one, one.
[M.] Thank you. Have a beautiful day. [F.1] Thank you from my heart. You too.
[M.] Thank you, brother. [F.1] Thank all of you.
[M.] Great, very great. [F.1] Maybe I even catch you on the way back?
[Mooji] We give you a push start. Go on now.
[F.1] Caio. Thank you. I have to go slowly.
[M.] My uncle and brother go up in the country,
they take stuff from the soil, they do this [wipe] and eat.
[F.3] It's actually a very good way to eat.
[F.4] Almost certainly organic. [F.3] Yeah, it's from the place.
[F.5] They grow everything organic around here.
[Shree] Some more? [M.] Hmm!
I didn't want to say, I don't want to share it. [eats fruit]
[Shree] We could make do with these.
[F.6] Thank God that nothing works without God.
[Mooji] Haha! What a statement!
Thank God that nothing works without God.
[Friend] Hallelujah. [Mooji] Hallelujah. Alhamdulillah.
All this earth, all this play,
human beings going up and down, all of it,
I'm going to tell you a secret - it's not true.
It's only dreaming. But we are so invested in the dream,
we cannot see the unreality of it yet.
As you begin to stay here you resolve,
you may call it recede, revert,
back to your original nature which is here, it's always here.
That's all. That's all! In one sentence.
By observing the mind, you automatically revert to the heart.
That's it! Game up!
Game up doesn't mean the end of joy.
It is the freedom of joy. You see?
To overcome one's own ego is to overcome the world. Mooji
Market day in the local village.
[Mooji] Yeah, I want to try this one.
[Friend] We turn it for you. [Mooji sits on a chair]
[Friend] This is a Portuguese saint.
[Mooji] I wonder who this is?
[Friend] Santa Portugesa. Si.
[Friend] Some Portuguese saints.
[Mooji rings a bell]
OK, you know what that means? [Mooji rings the bell again]
Everybody knows.
Be in this place. And don't leave! [laughter]
Can I leave it here for a minute?
You are in the right place,
at the right time, in the right form,
the right opportunity,
right here and now,
to awaken to the eternal. Mooji
Spontaneous satsang at Meki's Chai stall.
Before we came here, I was coming from Sahaja,
where a few of us were in the van together,
and just before I came on the road, we stopped,
and I said, Now, before we go anywhere,
empty your mind for one minute.
Can anybody hear that? Empty your mind for one minute.
And then what happened? For one minute everybody sits in the van.
I said, Can you succeed? What did you find?
'Shshsh ... ' Fried sausages.
'Shshsh ... ' Thoughts and energy.
Just one minute I ask you to look and you'll see this.
You know what this means? This is the background
to what's going on in your life all the time. That noise, 'shshsh !
I say, can you detach from this?
You'll find you're not able to detach from it.
Why? Because you don't practice it.
So this [points to head] didn't ask you, 'Can I stay?'
You understand? This 'shshsh ... '
This, trying to,
did not ask your permission to be there. OK.
So if this is underneath your thinking
and all of this is all our thoughts and feelings,
your memory, your desire, your identities, all this, 'shshsh!'
so I ask everyone in the car, Stop and be aware.
Don't identify. Don't log in to that.
But just be aware of it for one minute.
Do you know anybody who can do it? No. Because it's there.
But what was the purpose of the exercise?
To show you what is behind here in your day.
You see friends, 'Hi darling, how are you?' 'Hey, nice to see you.'
This 'shshsh'. You're not available even to your own self.
So the 'Just Be' exercise is to exorcise that energy out of you
so that you can feel your natural presence God in you.
Because this, 'shshsh', is kind of ...
It will show you this, 'Have this'.
'Go and meet this one. Heh!' 'Do this.'
But for you to be behind here,
you need to be able to follow through.
Because something wants to keep you in this world. [points to head]
Not the earth, earth is innocent. In here. [points to head]
That's what my teachings have come to with you.
Who will follow?
Who will follow this one?
[Friend] I feel your grace picked me out again.
And it's just ... I feel now is the time for
just deepening in your presence in any way possible, I appreciate.
[Mooji] We are good then.
[Mooji] You want to get some of those cherries?
[Friend] Heh. [Friend] Thank you, Guruji.
[Mooji] Love you, love you. See you later.
[Mooji] Hey, Japirah, how are you doing? Good?
[Friend] I got my Alantesia look. [Mooji] Whoo! Watch out!
See you soon, yeah?
The elderly home in the village
receives love and support from Moojibaba and the team
[music]
[Friend] What are we picking up, Guruji?
[Mooji] I thought we are lacking some chairs outside.
The chairs that they have are a bit weak.
So I thought if we have these red ones, I don't know if we have them,
we can give it to them.
[music]
[playing music and singing with the residents]
Portraits for the residents
[Applause and clapping]
Awareness cannot leave you.
Everything else will leave you,
but Awareness is what you are. Mooji
Moojibaba often walks down to Little Jamaica for a "coffee"
[Moojii] Hey, how are you doing? [Boy] Good.
[Boy] A rubberband. [Mooji] Oooh, ooh!
[M.] Rubberband. [Boy] Hi, Guruji.
[Mooji] Hi, how you doing? Love to see you. Love you.
[Boy] I love you. [Mooji] I love you too.
[Mooji] Look at this, though. I mean, what's going on here?
Does that give a good impression of Sahaja?
We spend our days in bed, even when the guests come.
[laughter] No judgment, no judgment.
Pure light, pure light has no colour.
It touches a prism and it manifests
into a rainbow of different effects. OK.
I'm going to use this metaphor.
The pure light cannot be seen.
But when it hits a prism ... You know a prism?
Like say, for instance, looks like a ...
You know what a prism is?
Then it 'pow!' ... Not before the prism.
But hitting the prism manifests into lots of colours.
Now all these colours
have their source in the colourless light. Isn't it? OK.
Let's call this colourless light consciousness.
Let's call the prism the mind and the body.
The light goes through there. It manifests as variation, variety.
Can you imagine now all the differences in the world
are coming through the prism of the mind?
And then you can have no judgements.
The red is fighting against the green
and the green is not happy with the yellow one. Da da da da.
So in a sense, it's a simple example, a good one,
what spirituality means.
It's as though, somehow, through the human instrument,
the rainbow of differences
has managed to reverse back to the source light.
You understand?
It doesn't identify 'I'm blue, I'm green'.
It says, 'These don't pertain to what I am, actually'.
Why? Because I have returned through contemplation
to my original light, the light of consciousness. OK.
That's the first great step.
From the light of consciousness you can see all the rainbows,
but at the same time, it's not affected here. [touches the heart]
Who has come to that space?
Then, beyond even this, the light must come from somewhere.
So even this light, which is called consciousness,
itself comes from somewhere,
somewhere beyond the range of the senses.
What is it?
And that somewhere-ness is in the heart of every living being.
You are pure nature, here, [touches heart] you must realise.
You are the light of consciousness
and also the very witness to this light.
You are timeless Awareness. Mooji
Our dear Shree went to the United States to visit her family.
Meanwhile in Monte Sahaja, the team is preparing a surprise for her.
Shree's hut and garden are getting a surprise make-over.
[Friend] How is it going, Guruji? [M.] It's going real fine.
[F.] You want to say something to Shree Shree? She won't see it before.
[M.] I hope you're going to be very happy.
Anyway, you've got a lot of beautiful Sahaja hearts coming together,
working to make this place more comfortable for you.
And there's so much love. And we love, we love, we love you.
So this is just an expression of love.
And I hope you love it too.
So, yeah, lots of people coming in and out,
but some regulars are here all day.
[Lakshmi] You know what everyone was saying?
We were all here, the painters,
we were saying, 'It's so nice to do something for Shree,
as she is always doing everything for all of us.
[M.] That's right. We were saying on the way,
it's nice to do something for Shree Shree
as she's doing something for everybody.
She doesn't have time to do things for herself.
So we want to try to make it as nice as we can.
[Friend 1] Babaji just built this railing, Guruji and Babaki.
[Mooji] Too low. Take it up. [Friend 2] Is this roof new?
[Mooji] Yeah, this one. [F.2] It's awesome!
[F.2] She's gonna love that. Very protective then.
[Mooji] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Mooji] Listen. You've got light on your path also, now.
[Mooji] Yep!
[Shree] Oh my God!
Oh my God!
[Mooji] It's nice.
[Shree] Wow. Oh my gosh! Ooh!
[Mooji] Yes. Go, go. We're also enjoying.
[Mooji] Ha, ha, ha, ha!
It's very nice, look, I didn't see this picture.
Somebody put that picture just now. Who did this?
Oh gosh!
We just wants to know if you like it. That's the thing.
You can try your chair, please. Go on.
You've got to try your chair. Nice one?
You got your shoes on, that's OK. [Shree] Wow!
[M.] Everybody came out and said, 'We got to take care of that girl.'
[Shree] Wow! Just never had time to come and do this.
[Group] That's why we came here. [Shree] Wow!
[M.] Sorry, we sent you to America, perhaps. [laughter]
[Mooji] No, no, no. Go on. Yeah.
You can lay here. Yeah, yeah. [laughs] [Shree laughs]
[Mooji] You got running water. You got water there.
You got your stuff here.
[Shree] Actually, it's too good!
[Mooji] Everyone had fun, fun, fun.
And actually, I invited them all out this evening
to have a meal at Casa at 7 o'clock.
[Shree] Yeah? [Mooji] You're invited also. [laughter]
[Shree] Guruji, oh, my gosh!
Casa Nirvana Restaurant is a community and heart center in the village
'Out of many, one people'
[Mooji] It's even in things like this that I see satsang alive.
It's not only in being able to share
very high things, great knowledge,
but simple things, and the response, you know.
Guys, we need some help to do this. It just came, you know.
Even the guys with the electricity, at the last minute,
'Can you come and do it?' They came late in the night.
If you move with integrity, somehow this spirit responds to it.
Amazing thing! Life could be so simple and so beautiful.
It wants to be, life wants to be harmonious.
But your mind, woah,
too much conditioning and habits.
And, you know, it should not be special.
But it seems special now because it seems rare.
Noboy's going, 'Aah! So unusual!' No, it's just a natural thing.
But we have to relearn it.
At some point you come to see
how great a life has been offered to you.
And, hopefully, you take that opportunity.
[Mooji] Very good. Thank you, guys.
I want to tell you what happened the other day when we met.
I went into the kitchen, [An auspicious meeting with the Casa Nirvana team]
I said, Aah! Then I realised that, outside here,
there are lots of images of the saints,
they bless the place, they're all looking into this space.
But in the kitchen there was nobody.
Just kitchen working, which is very nice.
So it felt it was important for me to bring the presence
and the blessing and the darshan of God in the kitchen.
So we prepared, we came, and we put it everywhere.
And I want to tell you what happened.
[Mooji] Om Namah Shivaya Om Namah Shivaya
Om Namah Shivaya
Shivaya Om Namah
Om Namah Shivaya Om Namah Shivaya
Shivaya Om Namah
Om Namah Shivaya Om Namah Shivaya
Shivaya Om Namah
[Mooji] Is that good? [Friend] It's so good!
[Mooji] We were working away, like that,
and as I came just here, in this place here,
the power of the darshan of God was 'whoof' like this!
Whoa! I felt like I had to step aside for a little,
because I felt so flooded now with this grace is there.
And so, I want to tell you
that today this darshan came here so powerfully
that the spirit of truth, the darshan of God
and all the saints, all the sages
have come alive in this place, even more than before.
And may that continue to prevade
the presence and the heart of everyone here,
all the people who come to visit Casa Nirvana,
and that this force will continue to radiate from this place.
Thank you, thank you. Om Nama Shivaya.
Jai Papaji. Jai Sri Ramana. Jai Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Jai Sri Yogi Ramsuratkumar. Jai Sri Christ.
Pray to all the saints and the holy prophets and sages of God.
Very good. Thank you. Bless you, bless you, bless you, bless you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
I am the form and the formless.
Though time-bound is my form,
myself am the eternal. Mooji
Church Fundraiser
with music and tasty treat from the local community.
[Mooji sings] A little more oil in my lamp, I pray.
A little more oil ... [Mooji waves to the people]
[Mooji] Thank you, guys. See you soon.
[Mooji sings] A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning.
Keep it burning till the break of day.
Nobody explained that. But now I can say
what is a little more oil in my lamp.
A little more wisdom, a little more guidance,
so that I can keep putting a little more oil in my lamp,
in my mind, in my soul - to keep it burning, to keep it growing.
[Mooji sings] A little more oil in my lamp, I pray.
A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning,
Keep it burning till the break of day.
Meaning, keep the lamp burning until the real light comes.
Nobody explained that. I never heard anyone explain it.
But as you grow up you realise what these songs mean.
We sing it as children, or when I went to Sunday school.
[Mooji sings] A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning.
A little more oil in my lamp, I pray. [Mooji claps]
A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning,
Keep it burning till the break of day. Hallelujah!
When you are empty, love shines unimpeded.
Empty the house of you and you will find God living here. Mooji
Present Day in Monte Sahaja Mooji and team watch videos from the early days.
[M:] That's inside the library.
I said, actually... I was up this hill and I said, you know,
We're here now and maybe people will one day come here
and meet me, we have satsang here,
But if they don't come, we sit underneath this moon. [laughter]
We never see the skies like this.
<verify> was here, Omkara, quite a few, we're just all here.
Humble beginnings of Monte Sahaja in 2011
[Friend] [laughs] I'm filming you.
[Friend] Is this a Chinese morning?
The Chinese morning you called it once. [Mooji] The Chinese morning, yeah.
Chai Making in the first kitchen.
[Friend] Guruji making tea in our kitchen.
In this life you must walk iin the external
but abide in the internal
and thus become established
in and as the Eternal. Mooji
Online Satsang with Sahaja Express participants
Sangha photoshoot for the Monte Sahaja Christmas card
An unexpected arrival during lunchtime in the tearoom
[Mooji] Did you know about this?
Jeavon. Moojibaba's son.
[Mooji] Who knew about this? [laughter]
So he was hiding, this one here, in the storage.
[laughter]
[Mooji] There's just a feeling arising, now is the time to slow down.
Everyone slow down. And deepen. Mature.
I'm not asking the person to mature.
But if you slow down with me, maturity will come.
It's time. It's a beautiful time.
It's a beautiful time.
God is taking care of all things
and that's the message I have for you today.
Slow down. Come.
And, of course, you will feel the racy mind,
the energy, the breathlessness that comes with the aspiring soul,
because some tension comes and some haste comes.
I say don't worry, leave it with me.
Leave it also with God.
And just you put your heart,
your heart's yearning, your intention,
put your intention here, and everything will be just fine.
Everything is just ... It is fine.
But you will come to see how fine it is. Allow.
Bless you, bless you, bless you.
That's OK.
Your power is in inner solitude.
In your inner aloneness the Lord is revealed. Mooji
A powerful season of satsangs is unfolding in Little Jamaica
[M.] In the early days of sharing satsang
I'd tell illustrations and stories.
People laugh at them and we talk about this.
But as time went on, it became slim, slimmer and slimmer,
less stories, less reports, less ...
To now, where we have taken away the feathers,
we've taken away the bones, we've thrown out other things.
Only the pure is here.
[Friend] I come to meet you as I am.
[Mooji] I come to meet you as I am.
What is 'I Am' and is 'I Am' alive in you?
What is the biggest truth of you?
When we say, reverse, don't touch anything,
don't combine your sense of self
with any action or thought or image or intention,
so just be witness - we are reversing.
We are coming to the place of witnessing, not of participating,
just seeing, that as far as we can respond
to reversing, come back, come back.
Come back means, take nothing with you.
As I am speaking, this must be true.
It is not homework for later.
Reverse, back, and take nothing with you,
meaning no identity, no object to be possessed,
no learning, no association with anything at all.
If that is done, are you still?
This place, can it ever be was?
Is it located in time and space?
Does it have beginning or birth?
Does it have proportion?
Does it have size, this 'I Am'.
[Mooji] Answer. [Group] No.
[Mooji] Is it merely answer or realisation?
Does it exist or is it coming soon into existence?
Is it not from here that everything that appears in the mind,
gross or subtle, is perceived?
And yet, it remains unaffected.
That is the Self.
We cannot come even to the beginning
of the greatness of God.
I speak about God, I'm not holding God to some shape or a figure.
Universal consciousness, the Supreme Being,
none can exist without Him.
We say God is everywhere,
but He will only enter the heart that welcomes.
It is like some kind of paradox, He is everywhere,
but He will only enter the house where He is welcomed.
Like that.
Om, Hallelujah, Alhamdulillah, Amen.
I am nothing and I am everywhere.
Come and find me. Mooji
