Mooji Quotes about Mind

  • The seeing is instant. The recognition can be instant but it will take some time to stabilize the mind into the heart completely.

  • Satsang is here to wash off the mind's face and to reveal the face of God.

  • Focus your mind on 'I Am', which is pure and simple being. You are Here and Now only. Contemplate what it is to be fully 'Here' and fully 'Now'. For this you must leave all else. Stay only as here-now Conscious presence. This is Heart. This is Self.

  • The world cannot hold onto you, for the world is not sentient. The world doesn't have a mind nor does it have desires; it is only your mind's objectivisation. It is your own mind's play which imagines that an object—call it the mind or whatever—can hold onto you. It is the idea you have of who you are that is holding onto its own fearful projections as the mind. Leave all of this and remain as the pure, joyous Self.
