I Am That Emptiness Looking and Perceiving Only Itself. ~Satsang with Mooji


Mooji reads a written comment from a guest: Through the eyes of all of the creatures, I see the same emptiness. It is emptiness looking at me. I am that emptiness looking and perceiving only itself.

Mooji: This is complete. What is there that you can say? What conversation would emptiness have with emptiness?

Mooji continues reading comment: What a miraculous game. What overwhelming seeing. What peace to have finally found that to be reality.

Mooji: And then in the last part you say, “How to get firm in this?” So, the first part is the testimony arising out of the self itself. And in the last part, the mind comes in and says, “How to get firm in this?” Only when you touch this, then doubt come. So many things we accommodated, so many concepts, so many ideas. You never checked it out. How simple we absorb so many impressions.

Some ideas that you have were your friends ideas and you just took them. Ideas were passed on to you. Your grandmother, mother, father, cousins, school, society, newspaper, television, put in everything. And you are just like the conceptual dustbin. And then you imagine these are my opinions. Just you remember that, “I cannot be that. I am the one to witness this. How much has it cost me in the past to say that I am that?”

Compassion & Good Deeds Unites Humanity, Creating a Better World for ALL

By Pamela J. Wells
Published on 01/27/11



In order to have compassion for others, we have to release ego’s hold on us, to actively and unconditionally contribute good deeds to others, which ultimately causes a chain reaction of compassion and good deeds throughout the world that transcends boundaries, geographically and culturally, regardless of one’s beliefs--uniting the world, uniting people, to consciously participate in creating a better world.

Without a healthy planet there would be no people. Without a compassionate and loving society there is no unity, but only suffering and separation, that ultimately destroys humanity. To be more compassionate towards others we have to step back and take a look at ourselves and what is holding us back from fully embracing one another. At the end of the day we have to ask ourselves a question, “How do I feel?”

Most of the time, when we feel unsettled, angry, jealous, or bitter, we are focused on our "Self," what we think we deserve, what we should be getting, and what others are not giving us. If we forget about our Self and only think of others, having compassion for others, finding ways to help and being kind to others, then we will feel good inside, feel love and joy, radiating outward from within.

When you are grasping, you are not getting. 
When you are giving, unconditionally,
you are also receiving love in return.
Being selfless frees everyone including our self.

What Is Life?


It is the flash 
of a firefly 
in the night. 

It is the breath 
of a buffalo 
in the wintertime. 

It is the 
little shadow 
which runs 
across the 
grass and 
loses itself 
in the sunset.

~Written by Crowfoot-Blackfoot Warrior and Orator, 1890
