The Animated Avadhuta - Read by Mooji

  • 0:51 - 0:55
    Become aware of the indivisible Self
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Be rid of attachment
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Be happy and free
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    Truly you are the unchanging
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    Essence of everything
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    You are the unmoving unity
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    You are boundless freedom
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    You have neither attachment nor aversion
  • 1:16 - 1:17
    Why then do you worry
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    and succumb to desire?
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    All the scriptures unanimously declare
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    that the pure formless
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    undifferentiated reality
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    is the essence of all forms
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    There is absolutely no doubt about this
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    All forms
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    understand
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    are only
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    temporary manifestations
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    Only the formless essence
  • 1:46 - 1:47
    eternally exists
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    Once this truth is realized
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    There's no more necessity to be reborn
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    The saying
  • 2:15 - 2:16
    That Thou Art
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    affirms the reality of your own true Self
  • 2:22 - 2:22
    The saying
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    Not This
  • 2:24 - 2:25
    Not This
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    denies the reality of the five
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    composite elements
  • 3:12 - 3:12
    The Self
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    is the identity of everyone
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    You are everything
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    the unbroken whole
  • 3:21 - 3:22
    The thinker and the thought
  • 3:23 - 3:24
    do not even exist!
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    Oh mind!
  • 3:27 - 3:28
    How can you go on
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    thinking so shamelessly!?
  • 4:04 - 4:08
    You are that pure and unchanging essence
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    You have no body
  • 4:10 - 4:11
    no birth
  • 4:11 - 4:12
    and no death
  • 4:13 - 4:14
    For you
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    how could such a thing
  • 4:17 - 4:19
    as delusion be?
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    How could delusion exist for the Self?
  • 5:22 - 5:23
    I have no beginning
  • 5:24 - 5:25
    middle
  • 5:25 - 5:26
    or end
  • 5:27 - 5:29
    I have never been
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    nor will ever be bound
  • 5:32 - 5:34
    My nature is stainless
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    I am purity itself
  • 5:37 - 5:40
    This I know as a certainty
  • 5:52 - 5:54
    Why do you weep, Oh mind?
  • 5:54 - 5:55
    Why do you cry?
  • 5:56 - 5:58
    Take this attitude
  • 5:58 - 6:00
    "I am the Self"!
  • 6:01 - 6:03
    Oh dear one! Go beyond the many!
  • 6:04 - 6:08
    Drink the supreme nectar of unity!
  • 6:20 - 6:22
    You do not possess intelligence
  • 6:23 - 6:25
    nor do you possess ignorance
  • 6:26 - 6:30
    Nor do you possess a mixture of these two
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    You are yourself intelligence
  • 6:34 - 6:36
    An intelligence that never ceases
  • 6:37 - 6:38
    never strays
  • 7:23 - 7:23
    All duties
  • 7:24 - 7:25
    wealth
  • 7:25 - 7:26
    enjoyments
  • 7:26 - 7:27
    liberation
  • 7:27 - 7:29
    all people and objects
  • 7:29 - 7:30
    of the world as well
  • 7:31 - 7:32
    everything
  • 7:32 - 7:34
    in the eyes of a yogi
  • 7:34 - 7:36
    is like the illusory water
  • 7:36 - 7:38
    in a desert mirage
  • 8:47 - 8:48
    In me
  • 8:48 - 8:50
    there is no impurity
  • 8:50 - 8:51
    such as attachment
  • 8:52 - 8:54
    There is no bodily pain for me
  • 8:55 - 8:58
    Understand that I am the Self
  • 8:58 - 8:59
    I am Unity
  • 9:00 - 9:02
    I am vast as space
  • 9:02 - 9:04
    like the sky above
  • 9:05 - 9:07
    Oh mind! My friend
  • 9:07 - 9:09
    what's the good
  • 9:09 - 9:10
    of so much speaking?
  • 9:10 - 9:12
    Oh mind! My friend
  • 9:12 - 9:15
    all of this has been made quite clear
  • 9:16 - 9:17
    You are the ultimate reality
  • 9:18 - 9:19
    You're unbounded
  • 9:20 - 9:20
    like space

The Animated Avadhuta - Read by Mooji
Description:

Salutations to consciousness from consciousness.

Here is an Unmoving travel through dimensions of perception. The elements of language are segments of the mind; can they be the structure of the world? On the fractal fresco of phenomena, the variety of all the symbols of oneness sprout and come to life.

The artwork's basis is one 20 foot long hand drawing that took one year completing. Its backbone is the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which are spread like seeds of meaning among the infinite canvas of random facts. Living beings are linked by secret strands of DNA. This Drawing of Babel, that some call the Universe, is called different names, like God itself: the Psychotorah, The ABC of the Absolute, Noah's Archetype...
The movie shows one possible wandering through its maze.

The text is an ancient sanskrit advaita vedanta wisdom, which has been almost unknown even in India for centuries. Its title means: the song of the naked one, the sage that got rid of ideas and identification and sings out of bliss.

Mooji is a contemporary spiritual teacher who has a large number of videos available on youtube, bringing to life this ancient wisdom with stunning clarity.

It is like an act of love defying time to merge After Effects and Devanagari, the latest technology and the earliest recorded outbursts of insight into the depths of reality. This is as far as words may come to give a hint of the absolute...

The musicians are my music teachers, having a very high level in Hindustani music and an inner understanding of it.
