Mooji: What is
the Meaning of
Life?
BY NICOLAE TANASE ON JANUARY 6, 2016 • ( 2 COMMENTS )

Nicolae Tanase:
Mooji, what is the
meaning of life?

Mooji: This is
perhaps one of the
most seemingly
profound questions
within the human
kingdom. Yet at
closer scrutiny it is
revealed as one of the
most elusive in as far
as coming to any one
satisfactory answer.

Let’s imagine there is


a world cup football match being played. The match
can only be what it is and goes how it does. However, if
there happen to be one hundred commentators giving
commentaries on the game, the listeners will only hear
each commentator’s interpretation and each one will be

different. Now, which commentator has given the most


accurate account of the match? Each one will speak
from his or her preference, temperament, conditioning
and perspective. It will be a subjective view only and not
the complete picture, which is impossible to convey.
We could go further and imagine that we, ourselves, are
at the match—live. Nevertheless, our view will still be
biased and based on whichever team we support, as
would be the view of each and every supporter. So, with
an attendance of one thousand spectators, there will be
a thousand unique views. Perhaps, if any view could be
accepted as being most universally objective and
genuine, it will come from someone who understands
and enjoys the game but is inwardly neutral in terms of
the game’s final outcome or score.

It is the same with the question about the meaning of


life.

We can use this simple analogy or metaphor and see


that it will be the same in the case of the lawyer, the
mother, the doctor, the thief, the politician and the
religious man. We each perceive what we consciously or
unconsciously conceive. Each will perceive and
experience life according to his conditioning and the
role that he identifies with, but each person will only
comprehend and reflect a limited perspective of the
whole, shaped by the fearful and unavoidably self-
opinionated mind.

Amongst the various types of beings, I feel that a sage is


the one who has really grasped life in an all-
encompassing and holistic way and this is so because, as
an awakened being, his personal mind has merged in
his universal consciousness—his source being. Such a
one looks from the harmony and vastness of
unconditioned consciousness, without personal
interpretation or judgment. He feels at one with life in

all its varied expressions and even beyond this. His


enormous compassion and wisdom arises out of his
effortless and natural understanding of the laws of
nature, the universal play of existence as time and
change and the unbroken recognition of his true Self as
the core perceiver of the manifest and functioning
world. His mind, free of conditioning, is not caught in
the bubble of ego-identity and thus he becomes the true
friend of all living beings. Seeing himself within all and
all within himself, he lives the complete life. The sage
alone opens the door to the Divine.

~Mooji (Anthony Paul Moo-Young)  is a spiritual


teacher originally from Jamaica. Mooji is a disciple of
Sri HWL Poonja, or Papaji, a devotee of the great
advaita master Sri Ramana Maharshi.

It always amazes me that this is consideredREPLY


a deep
spiritual question. As a child I thought the answer
was obvious. As each person is unique, so each
person gives their life its own meaning. Your world
cup example backs that up. I think what is different
about the sage is that he is more likely to be aware
of how many different meanings there are, but his
meaning is still his alone for the first rule of the
