An Invitation to the Greatest Discovery

Can I just use a few moments with you, right here today, because we have this opportunity, and in the constant presence of the Supreme, to just leave aside all our ideas, the ones that we are willingly engaged with, and the ones that seem to just be hanging around. When I say, Leave them, I mean, don't be concerned about them. Just be empty. And at this moment, it should be particularly easy for you. Don't be holding on to it. Don't turn to look backwards at what is gone, because it really is gone, except for our habit of revisiting what is past. So leave these things. As I say in the invitation also, Don't be concerned about the future. There is no need at all. To be too concerned about the future is based upon fear. And I'm not calling you right now towards any fear. Simply be empty, because you can, first. And I want you with me, again, to really confirm, not because anybody else has, but because you will. Be totally empty of all ideas and desires about the world, and yourself, and what you hope to get from your time here, or who you want to be, and all of these things. Even the sense of awakening, and Self-realisation, and whatever that may appear to be in your own mind, just leave everything alone for a moment. Leave everything. And any anticipation or expectation, such as, OK, OK, yes, I've done that, what now? No expectations, no next. Simply just be where you are. Just be empty. Empty, empty, empty. The last seed that should be left in you is just the feeling of I. That was the first seed of knowingness that appeared. But whatever appears, even the most simple thing, it must appear in something that was already here. So I said, Even before the first seed appears of knowingness, the sense, I, this one, this is the first knowing. Everything else is subsequent to it. So when I say, Empty, empty of everything, everything, everything, now maybe even just the sense of I, the vibration of knowingness, that seed of existence that we feel, I exist. Even this, don't hold it. Don't hold it. And those of you who trust, you will come with me. So even the feeling of I, just don't hold, don't claim anything. So that there remains only that in which the I itself appears. Don't hold the body, and memories, and the mind, and so on. Let these functions be where they need to be right now. But you are unmolested by them. You don't take any shape at all. Remain shapeless, like space. In fact, you don't have to imagine that, because when you are not holding or clinging to any thoughts, or desires, or judgements, there is this inner spaciousness. I would dare say, it is not limited to even the sense of inner. It does not know inner or outer. It is everywhere. This silence, spaciousness, a kind of nothingness. And although the mind may be present and trying to give nothingness, a kind of shape of nothingness, it is not necessary. If I say that everything can be taken out, and you comply and allow whatever is here to not embrace any thought, or imagination, or any concept at all, you will find that something remains that cannot be moved. It cannot be taken out. It cannot be added. It is just here. And it is self-aware. It is not two. It is as though you are asked to take all the numbers away, all the letters away. Nowadays, there is only nothing, only zero, beyond even the concept of zero. It is very important that I ask you to do this, so that you can experience that you can be empty, your own emptiness. It is not something that you are creating. You are only discovering this place called emptiness. We can use other words for it, but actually, none of the words fit. Whatever it is that is here is not even called emptiness. And I have asked you to come here, so that I can ask and check in with you about you. I have asked you to leave everything, the usual activities and habits of the mind, the beliefs and the identifications aside. I have not asked you to destroy them, but just not to engage. And you see how easy it is to simply be here. What is this here, this here-ness? Is it about being in any particular country? No. What is here? What are you perceiving? Is it an object? Be fresh with this for me now. Only answer from your heart. What is here? Can it be defined in any way at all? Does it have a form? Is it light or darkness? Is it an emotion? Is it a feeling, like a very nice feeling? Can it be described as that? Can it be described as being outside? Please be with me, because I don't think you are going to make a greater discovery than you are going to make today. Unless you are afraid, then you can say, OK, you are out of it. What did I ask you just now? Is it a what? Is it outside? Is it inside? Just watch how the questions come. Is it a belief? Is it a particular religion? Is it a function? I am asking each and everyone here this question. What is it that is here? Did it arrive? Can it leave? No, it cannot leave. And an important question I will ask also now, can it fade away? Can it be hidden? Again, can it be hidden? No. Can it be hidden? Can it be hidden to itself? Right now I am asking you, if you say it can be hidden, you are speaking about the quality of mind. That in which these questions are heard, is it outside or apart from this? Can the mind exist outside of this? Whatever it is that you are aware of, can it become sick, confused, depressed? Are you sure you are not imagining it? Was it created? Do you feel you have the capacity to answer this question? Then can it die? How do you know these things? Who taught you? Can it be lost? Can it reject anyone? Does it know anyone? Can it be possessed? Can it be dissolved? What you are aware of, where is it being seen? How far from you is it? From the place, from that which perceives. How far is it looking to look into these things? There is no distance. Can you stand by your word, always? Then if this is so, you have never studied this. You never studied this. You did not borrow this knowledge from somewhere. You confirmed it out of your own Self and Source. It cannot die. It was not created. It cannot fade. It is unbound. It cannot be possessed. It cannot be lost. It is without mood. It was not born. It cannot die. And it is no distance. Can it change? So, if these are things that you can confirm, without even thinking such about it, then it must be that you are speaking about yourself. Is it still true? Is it arrogant to think like this, to know these things, to express these things? Is it the truth for some people and not for others? Then today, you are confirmed in the truth. And I love that I can share with you in this way, that it is not the product of some university knowledge. That anybody, even if you come from some poor place, you have never studied in any school or anything like that, can confirm this. Why? Why? Because these are the things of God. And you can only know this from being in the place, not of your person, but of your Self. And yes, your mind will come. He has been called the doubter. He will come to raise doubt in your mind, but today I am not feeling like that. You were strong yesterday, but today ... And I said, Oh, but you said that it cannot change. Yes, but I am not in the same mood. So is it a mood? So that you, out of your own being, can confirm. That authority you have, did you speculate? Did you imagine? Then great is this moment on Earth, that human beings can look and experience without hypnosis. I have not thrown magic powder in your face. From your own heart, you can look and confirm things which are largely regarded as unknowable. Now what remains is to honour this. And how to honour what you have already declared, that it is true, it is already what it is? How to honour it means what? That your mind will come to test. And the way it will come to test is to try and remind you that you are a person. Because when you are in the state of your person, you cannot confirm anything. You will feel doubtful, you will feel tired, you will feel, No, I am not ready. Could you give me some time to get into meditation and I can answer your questions? It will come. And regard its coming as a timely offering from the Lord himself. Because we each have to be tested. And you are not tested to fail. You are tested so that you can confirm the greatness and the glory of God within you. You can confirm that you cannot be lost. You can never be lost. But your person, anyway, we are changing our personalities like our clothing. We keep changing our descriptions about ourselves. But can this change? Thank you. That is it. And may your heart always remind itself of its sublime perfection. And though the forces of delusion will try to pull you into some shape, know that you are ready beyond that. You are shapeless with shape. You are timeless with time. You are the formless in form. You are the all-knowing learning about itself. You are the imperishable appearing in a perishable body. Thank you. Thank you. I think we are having some music today. Satsang with Mooji I live for you, you only. Only you, Lord, you only. Consume me, all of me. Make me the light to brighten the way.
