Top 10 Mooji Quotes
At the end of the day, you can have something in your head, something in your hand, or something in your heart. What are you choosing?
All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.
If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.
Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.
Life cannot be against you, for you are Life itself. Life can only seem to go against the ego's projections, which are rarely the truth.
Ignoring the mind is a beautiful sadhana. This is what many of the sages did. They ignored the mind out of existence. It loses its influence and its potency when it is ignored.
Your mantra is thank you. Just keep saying thank you. Don't explain. Don't complain. Just say thank you. Say thank you to existence.
Day by day become more and more intimate with the inner stillness, joy and love which is the fragrance your own pure heart. Keep quiet.
In the spiritual journey, you cannot be a wine taster, you have to become a drunk.
Life is so much wiser and kinder than your mind imagines. Trust & Be Still.

Mooji Short Quotes
When the raindrop touches the ocean, can it tell a story.
The ocean does not require that the waves are still to be more ocean-like.
Don't try and save yourself. The self that is trying to be saved is not you.
Out of the formless the forms appear.
Ego is a ghost who is terrified of dying
If you are curious, you will learn. If you are desperate, you will discover.
Stop and sink into this timeless moment!
When you have no intention then you have no tension! Be flexible.
You are the harmony within which all things move. They are just illusion.
Be in the spirit of Truth and any words you speak are in alignment with that spirit.
The place you are looking for is the plate from which you are looking.

The final bridge to cross is to let go of the mind-created 'spiritual' self. Burn that bridge behind you. Stay empty of self-image and cease looking back. Remain in the neutrality of being. That's it! — Mooji

Mooji Quotes About Inspirational

Mind is there, in front of you. Don't log in. — Mooji

Mooji Famous Quotes And Sayings
In the land of "I know," there is always competitiveness, jealousy, pretence, pride and arrogance. It is an aggressive realm - the realm of the ego. I say refuse citizenship.

You are already inside this flow. — Mooji
There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self.

In your heart they will be confirmed. — Mooji
We are the space in which thoughts appear, play, and dissolve like clouds drifting in the infinite sky. — Mooji

Learn to leave things. If you don't have an interest in something, you don't need even to transcend it! — Mooji
A thought may arise: 'It's okay now, but it's going to be different when I step out the door'. Already you are anticipating your downfall. Recognise these as just thoughts. You can just watch them, feel their pull yet observe them as a movement in consciousness. Stay put as formless awareness. — Mooji

Thats just unicorn food. Let your river flow as it pleases. Simply observe and recognise that all is unfolding spontaneously when that inner journalist- the ego, is exposed as a myth. — Mooji
Don't expect anything from anybody, this is also a great freedom. Don't expect things to be different or people to be in service to you or your own life or projections.

Stay faithful to your own discovery, leave the rest and life will take care of it. — Mooji

Each contact is an opportunity for your own unique satsang with your Self, not in some strained or contrived way, but by keeping your mind inside your Heart, by trusting the inner guru and by recognizing each moment as perfect in itself and by simply being your Self.
