I Don't Know What to Do ~ Spoken by Mooji

I have come to drag you out of your self

I have come to drag you out of your self
and take you into my heart.
I have come to bring out the beauty
you never knew you had
and lift you like a prayer to the sky.
If no one recognizes you, I do
because you are my life and soul.
Don't run away, accept your wounds and
let bravery be your shield.
It takes a thousand stages
for the perfect being to evolve.
Every step of the way I will walk with you
and never leave you stranded.
Be patient, do not open the lid too soon
simmer away until you are ready.
In this game I make the rules.
I roll you like a ball and chase you
when I choose.
--- RUMI

Put aside your clever schemes! O Lover... - Rumi

 

Put aside your clever schemes!
O lover, be mindless! Become mad!
Dive into the heart of the flame!
Become fearless! Be like a moth!
Turn away from the self
and tear down the house!

Then, come and dwell in the house of love!
Be a lover! Live with lovers!
Clean your chest from all hostility.
Wash it seven times.

Then, fill it with the wine of love!
Be a chalice for love! Be a chalice!
You must be all love
to be worthy of the beloved.

When going to the gathering of drunks,
be a drunk! Become drunk!
The earring of the lovely ones
is intimate with beauty!
If you long for love’s intimacy,
be a precious pearl. Be a pearl!

If your soul is lifted to heaven
when you hear this song,
dissolve in the melody of love.
Be a love song! Be a song!
Don’t dread the darkness of denial.
Be the radiance of creative power.
Be the light! Be a haven of the spirit!
Be a haven of light! Be a haven!

Your thought takes a course
dragging you in its wake.
Move beyond thought!
Let your heart lead! Be the leader!
Passion and caprice
are locks leashing our hearts.
Become the key to the locks!
Open your heart! Be the key!

The light of the Chosen One
made a pillar moan!
You are surely more than a post!
Yearn for love! Be the moaning!

Life is a Pilgrimage

 Life is a pilgrimage to nowhere, from nowhere to nowhere. And between these two nowhere is the now-here. Nowhere consists of two words: now, here.

Between these two nowheres is the now-here Each day brings its own problems, its own challenges and each moment brings its own questions. And if you have ready-made answers in your head you will not be able even to listen to the question.
You will be so full of your answer, You will be incapable of listening. You will not be available.

“Life has everything that it needs in itself; it is intrinsic, not outside. It is an unfoldment of more and more joy, of more and more blissfulness, of more and more ecstasy.

But the unfoldment is in the present. As you go deeper and deeper, and higher and higher, you become more and more playful. And to be playful takes all seriousness away.

"Experience life in all possible ways -- Good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, Summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become."

~OSHO

Life is CHANGE.

 Misery arises because we don't allow change to happen; we cling, we want things to be static. If you love a woman you want her tomorrow too, the same way as she is yours today. That's how misery arises. Nobody can be certain about the next moment. What to say about tomorrow?

A man of awareness knows that life is constantly changing. Life is change. There is only one thing permanent and that is change. Everything else except change changes. To accept the nature of life, to accept this changing existence, with all its seasons and moods, this constant flow which never stops for a single moment, is to be blissful! Then nobody can disturb your bliss. It is your hankering for permanency that creates trouble for you. You want to live in a life with no change, and that is not possible. You are asking the impossible ...

A man of awareness becomes courageous enough to accept the phenomenon of change.

In that very acceptance is bliss; then all is good, then you are never frustrated-because in the first place you never asked for anything.

This Pain is not to make you Sad... Remember!

"This pain is not to make you sad, remember.
That's where people go on missing....
This pain is just to make you more alert -
because people become alert only when the
arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them.
Otherwise they don't become alert.
When life is easy, comfortable, convenient,
who cares?
Who bothers to become alert?
When a friend dies,
there is a possibility.
When your woman leaves you alone -
those dark nights, you are lonely.
You have loved that woman so much
and you have staked all,
and then suddenly one day she is gone.
Crying in your loneliness,
those are the occasions when,
if you use them,
you can become aware.
The arrow is hurting:
it can be used.
The pain is not to make you miserable,
the pain is to make you more aware!
And when you are aware,
misery disappears." [♥]

Be a fool, drop the ego.

A fool is one who goes on trusting;
a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience.
You deceive him, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you;
and you deceive him again, and he trusts you.
Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn.
His trust is tremendous;
his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.

Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense.
Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you.
Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen,
and then go on dropping it.
Go on cleaning your mind continuously;
go on dying to the past so you remain in the present,
herenow, as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult.
The world will start taking advantage of you...let them.
They are poor fellows.
Even if you are cheated and deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you,
that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don't allow situations to corrupt you,
that opportunity will become an integration inside.
Your soul will become more crystallized.
