The Key to Freedom—Detached Observing

Moojibaba offers a clear, potent deep dive into his core pointings, highlighting the problem of personhood, and revealing the space of Being. "The best way of using the mind is to observe it, but with detachment. Observe what arises, emotionally, energetically, mentally, but try not to log into them. And it may take a while to settle, because so many things will come knocking at your door. But just leave them. Don't fight them. Don't wish anything. Don't desire anything. Just be, and unfold into formlessness." Monte Sahaja, Portugal 19 September 2025

This powerful introspection from the June 2025 Online Awakening Intensive began when a questioner shared that he had been touched by the key guidance in the Direct Darshan of the Self [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Pb3aDHoxc]. Moojibaba walks step-by-step again through this essential inquiry, gently exposing when the personal identity tries to reassert itself.  "You've started in a very good place. What struck you was the question, 'For whom is the person the problem?' Because usually the person is the one with the problem. But now we're noticing that there is witnessing of the person and its problem, they are objects of perception, both of them.   What remains? What is it that is perceiving this?  First before you answer, be the answer, don't report this answer." 20 June 2025 Monte Sahaja, Portugal

In this talk with a student who is returning home after a short stay in Monte Sahaja, Moojibaba shares essential pointers that free us from the suffering of habitual thinking caused by egoic identity. “Whatever you can perceive, from the mind or from the senses, cannot be that which perceives them. And why is that? Because if I was the things I'm perceiving, then when they go or change as they do and must, I would also be changed and gone. How important is that seeing? Each one must take their own responsibility to look and confirm that this is significant enough to put an end to this feeling of suffering something.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 12 October 2025

In this satsang, a student who has been working earnestly with the pointings comes forward to clarify his seeing. Delighted by this focus, Moojibaba takes this opportunity to guide the sangha into the clear recognition and revelation of pure Being. “You come to a place where there is this space that is simply here. Does it need anything? Is there any sense of dissatisfaction here? Restlessness can appear in the great expanse, but that pure awareness itself, is it restless? Is it personal or impersonal? It is this that I refer to as your Self.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 18 September 2025 ~ More talks like this are available on Sahaja Express: https://mooji.org/sahaja-express

When asked this essential question, 'What is every human being searching for?', Moojibaba offers this simple, powerful introspection into the root of all seeking — the seeker itself. "There's an itch that what you want is something phenomenal, something that can be received. That's because our consciousness has the sense of being a particular identity that wants a particular thing. But what you truly want cannot be received. It can only be revealed."

In this powerful Satsang excerpt, Moojibaba shares and reaffirms the essence of his pointing. These sharings are deeply impactful and worth listening to again and again, as they help to illuminate and overcome the subtle ways we may stop short in our looking. “It is not the true Self that is complaining; it is the intellect, it is the one that’s on the journey that keeps getting caught up in the mind. But this is not the place to give up. Stay with it and your persistence starts to stabilise. You don’t know how — almost as if by some kind of magic. Your persistence comes to that.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 28 July 2025 ~ More talks like this are available on Mooji TV: https://mooji.org/mooji-tv

"Whatever you can perceive—through the senses, through your mind, from any region of time—is only the play of the mind and time. Whatever you perceive, even your own self portrait, is only an image in consciousness. Nothing is permanent. If you can see that even your person and this world are phenomenal, then what are you that is perceiving it? If you can hear this and pursue this contemplation, it will be enough to set you free, and I will support you in it."

Moojibaba shared this profound guided sitting during satsang on Guru Purnima, in July 2025. In the short span of this video, we are guided into the recognition of our natural state — pure, timeless being. "Only this – you are here. Don’t attach any shapes around the simple, natural sense of hereness. There is no witness, only witnessing. Stay only as conscious presence. There is nothing to solve or dissolve — only be the awareness. Be aware of being aware."

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
