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 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 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

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

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 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

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.’
