Saar (Essence)

Ananta clarifies that true freedom is the openness to all states, revealing a deeper, unchanging peace of awareness that remains untouched by external noise or phenomenal activity.

Freedom is the allowing of all states to come and go without being constricted.
True peace is your nature as awareness, untouched by any phenomenal activity or noise.
You cannot stop being, and this peace is the nature of your being itself.

There is a peace as long as I am sitting silently. As soon as I am moving and getting active again, the peace is not there anymore.

Ananta

Your freedom is not dependent on which state is showing up. Don't confuse freedom to be some sleep. Whatever the state means, you don't... it is the allowing of all states to come and go. That way you are not constricted, you're not closed. Just be completely open and then you will find that there is a deeper peace. This deeper peace means that you as awareness are not touched by any of this. So the phenomenology is the feeling of peace and quiet, then that can go into noise and activity. If the true peace is your peace of being, untouched by any of this, therefore 'peace' sometimes also can be a confusing word because when the Satguru talks about this peace, this unchanging, talking about the peace of awareness, untouched, unmoved. But that does not mean that states like that are not... these times which are full of activity and noise and where this quietness and peace is there phenomenally, but internally inside as awareness, the thing is moved. This is the real peace. And as more and more you are now marinating in your true Self, you will see that this peace is not changing. The phenomenal peace can come and go.

Seeker

So, since I said this real peace, I don't know yet.

Ananta

It's always been with you, which is that clear. Then leaving our thoughts about states which are coming and going, but this which we speak of cannot be taken away from you. Just like you cannot stop existing, you cannot stop being now. The same way, this your peace, it's just the nature of your Brahman itself, cannot be taken away from you.
