Stay as the Self

"What can the moon give to the Sun?

Can the moon say, "Sun, to me you seem to a little dull today, 

let me give you a little bit of my light"?

What can the mind give to the Heart

to its very source, the Self?

Mind's seva is to prostrate to the Self.

Mind is to be in service to the Self, nothing else.

Mind is to be in service to the Self, nothing else.

You are the Self.  Stay as the Self.  Don't serve the mind. 

~ Mooji. 

From the book, "The white fire"

Reflection

Moon has no light on its own. It has derived light from Sun and reflect it.  Similarly, the power of mind is gained from Self.  A thought has no life on its own. It gains power when my attention goes towards it.  How can this mind influence the Self?  I am full and complete like the Sun.  

Let us look at our life.  Whom do we serve day in and day out? Don't we serve only our passions and tendencies? Don't we serve people who fulfill our base desires?  

You can not serve the mind. 

Stay as the Self.  

But, how? 

Self is "I am".  Have this deep certainty within your heart -  "I am complete"  "I am full" , "I am not in need" 

And, do not associate "I am" with anything or anybody else.  Asangoham.  That's all. 

Then, mind cannot overpower you.  Mind will serve you. You are the Self.
