Your Struggles in Life—A Pathway to Freedom

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.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 24 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 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.”
