Reflections Of Formlessness

This talk unfolded in Little Jamaica shortly after the retreat time for the team in Monte Sahaja. When a close student shares that her quote was the three statements from Adi Shankara* (The world is not real / Brahman alone is real / Brahman is the world), Moojibaba offers a profound contemplation into the nature of reality, bringing the entire room of sangha into a rare, precious depth of silence.

“Can the perceiver be perceived?
If it can be seen, can it be more subtle than the seer of it?

You see, you’re hunting, but as you’re hunting, something is disappearing, this sort of concrete identity of entity-ness.

But even this is perceived, even the act of perceiving is perceived.
What is the cause of it?

Usually we believe that ‘we’, the sense ‘I Am’, is the perceiver of it.
Therefore, I say, can the ‘I Am’ itself be perceived?

And yes, there is awareness of ‘I Am’.
Is that awareness of ‘I Am’, the ‘I Am’ itself or something subtler than ‘I Am’?”

*Adi Shankara was an 8th-century Indian Vedic scholar, philosopher, and mystic
