LET GO! -Mooji tells a joke -
最近、勉強会で何度かこの話しをしている。ブログの下方で、英語文字起こしを貼り付けました。
聖霊は「私」にとって不都合なことを言う。
ほぼほぼ、そうだと思う。
「私」は、分離を望んで夢見をスタートして今も見ているのだから
ほとんど今も分離を望んでいる心を引きずっている。
だから、聖霊の声かけは大抵の場合「私」に都合よろしくなかったりする。
そういうものだと思っていた方が良いと思うんだ。
そして、都合が良くないことに従う＝不幸
と信じている「私」が正気ではない。ということを忘れてはならない。
聖霊の声に淀みなく、Yesと言うなら幸せはここにある。
幸せと「私」との間の境界線が永遠に消滅する。「私」も消え去る。
完全なる、絶対なる幸せ

[Mooji:] ... It's true. The first year we had satsang,
00:02
the people were hanging over the side of the building.
00:04
I said, No, no. Let's hurry up and finish quickly, please. No accidents.
00:09
[Laughter]
00:13
Yeah, yes.
00:14
[Friend:] 'Let go!'
00:16
[Mooji and audience laugh]
00:25
[M:] And... oh, yes, maybe I'll tell you that joke, Thomas' joke.
00:29
[Friends:] Ah, yes. [M:] It is a good one, isn't it?
00:31
But everybody knows it, no? [Friends:] No.
00:34
[M:] Ah, okay.
00:37
Thomas tells this joke. He says...
00:44
Thomas tells this joke. He says,
00:50
Once a pilgrim, no? He was on his way -
00:53
this is my version. I have to speak my version -
00:55
I don't know what... I make things up. [Laughter]
00:58
And he's on his journey, this pilgrim is on his journey, to some place.
01:03
And he's walking through the mountain range,
01:07
in the night.
01:08
And he slips.
01:11
And he tumbles down the side of the hill. Puta-puta-puta-puta poof!
01:15
And last tumble, at the very edge of the cliff,
01:20
he's hanging on.
01:21
He's hanging on, dangling, just by holding on maybe to the root of some tree.
01:26
And down below is a big drop.
01:29
And he's hanging there all by himself.
01:31
[Mooji laughs]
01:34
He is there for a while. And he's shouting,
01:36
'Help! Help!
01:39
Is anybody there? Help!'
01:43
Then minutes go past and his arm is hurting.
01:47
'Help!' He has not enough strength to pull himself up.
01:51
'Is anybody there?'
01:55
Then, finally, a voice came,
01:57
'Yes.' [with microphone echo special effect] 'Ah!' He says.
02:01
[Laughter]
02:03
He says, 'Help! Who is there?'
02:06
So, the voice says, 'God.' [with echo special effect]
02:10
[Laughter]
02:13
[Referring to the special effect:] Is he making, he's doing special...
02:16
he's making special effects.
02:19
[Laughter]
02:23
So... [Laughing]
02:29
Nataraj! [Laughter]
02:32
So, the voice says, 'God.'
02:35
He says, 'God?! God?!' He's dangling still.
02:38
He says, 'God, help me! Thank you for coming.
02:41
What should I do to come up?'
02:44
So, the voice says, 'Let go.' [with echo special effect]
02:48
[Laughter]
03:06
So, so...
03:09
[Laughter]
03:11
So he says... So he says, 'Let go?
03:16
No, no. Let go?
03:18
If I let go, I'm dead.
03:22
I'm dead! Please, Lord, God,
03:26
help me, what I should do?'
03:30
The voice says,
03:32
[Laughter]
03:35
'Let...'
03:36
[Laughter]
03:39
The voice says,
03:41
'Let go.' [with echo special effect]
03:44
[Laughter]
03:50
He says, 'Let go? God...
03:54
help me! Please, please!
03:58
What I should do? Help me.'
04:03
'Let go.' [with echo special effect]
04:07
So, he is hanging.
04:13
So, minutes pass,
04:14
and again his hand is burning now,
04:16
the fingers are losing their power.
04:21
He says, 'Hello?'
04:24
[Laughter]
04:26
'Help! Hello?! Hello-o?!
04:31
Is anybody there?'
04:34
[Laughter]
04:37
No voice come.
04:40
'Hello?! Help! Is anybody there?'
04:44
So, the voice comes again,
04:47
'Yes.' [with echo special effect]
04:50
'Who is it?'
04:53
'God.' [with echo special effect]
04:55
'Argh!' He's saying, 'Is anybody else up there?'
05:00
[Laughter and applause]
05:15
And I...
05:17
Okay, enough of the echo.
05:20
So, I like this because in some way
05:24
it's a deep truth about how we are.
05:28
There's a prayer which is very, very famous.
05:30
It says, 'Thy will be done.'
05:32
It finishes like this: 'Thy will be done.'
05:35
But secretly we are thinking,
05:38
'May my will be done.'
05:39
[Laughter]
05:42
You see?
05:43
So, sometimes it's not the option that we want.
05:47
Sometimes not what we want.
05:49
And if we were free of wanting,
05:54
if you are free of wanting,
05:56
which gives rise to projection,
05:58
desire,
06:00
dissatisfaction, discontent,
06:03
free of these, we are free.
06:08
To be free of want, is to be free.
06:12
'I have another desire.
06:14
Life is not going according to my projections,
06:18
therefore I suffer,
06:20
therefore life is cruel, life is hard.'
06:26
So, we have not learned.
06:30
Even after thousands and thousands
06:32
and thousands of years
06:35
we are developed sophisticatedly,
06:39
our abilities to create and to invent knows no bound.
06:43
But in the simplicity of being still,
06:49
the old tendencies still lurk there.
06:56
So, this was a funny story but I think very truthful one.
07:01
'Is anybody else up there? Apart from God?' [Laughter]
07:09
Okay. Anybody have something to say?
