Most of us would never admit we’re living unconsciously. Yet if we’re honest, much of our life is spent lost in thought — worries, regrets, and rehearsals of what might come next. Our minds, the most powerful computers ever made, end up running the show. Instead of serving us, they dictate the battleground between peace and panic.
I’ve discovered that the majority of my thoughts — 98% or more — are unhelpful. They’re recycled stories about the past or anxious predictions about the future. The mind’s chatter is endless, and most of it leads nowhere. But beneath that noise, there is something greater: the quiet observer. That still awareness, untouched by the turbulence of thought, is who we really are.
Mooji puts it beautifully: “When consciousness awakens from the dream of personhood and realises that it is the pure Self, that is called liberation, that is called awakening, that is called God-realization.”
This truth changes everything. We are not the voice in our heads. We are the awareness that notices it. Like clouds drifting across the sky, thoughts come and go — but we are the sky. Eternal. Unmoved. Whole.
Today, brothers and sisters, I invite you to take time — a minute, five minutes, maybe an hour — to sit quietly. Breathe. Notice the stream of thoughts without being swept away. Rest in the essence of who you are. In that stillness, we remember we are not just passing bodies in a busy world, but eternal souls, holy and connected to our Creator.
We are God’s gift. We are the miracle of eternity.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Practice for Today:
Sit quietly for a few minutes.
Follow your breath — in deeply, out slowly.
When thoughts arise, don’t fight them. Just notice and let them pass.
Rest in the awareness that is watching — your true Self.
Closing Prayer:
Lord, help us awaken from the dream of worry and fear. Quiet our minds and guide us into the eternal presence of who we truly are in You. May we walk today not as restless minds but as awakened souls, grounded in Your peace. Amen.
