God Will Take Care of the One Tomorrow - 27th November 2020
Saar (Essence)
Ananta teaches that the only way to support the version of yourself that struggles in the future is to remain fully open and empty in the present moment, rather than worrying about upcoming activities.
The best gift you can give to the one who appears later is to be fully open right now.
The mind's concern for future activities is just a trick to take you away from your magnificence.
If you meet God now, then God will take care of the one tomorrow.

Now, um, yeah, so it seems that when this one is doing um, housework, things around the house, is when the mind is the most active. Just like um, providing thoughts about uh, what needs to be uh, done next and just organization, um, all that kind of, of that kind of things. And it's when I'm the least present. And um, I have seen in, in pure presence that when I'm doing those kinds of activities, even if the biggest event is coming tomorrow, it's, it's nothing compared to this. However, most of the time that's not the experience, yeah, at those moments, just those specific activities.
Yes, okay, good. So this is a question which is quite natural and many have this kind of feeling because you feel that in Satsang or uh, when you're listening to something devotional or watching something else, then you may feel like it's okay. But when you are involved in activity, then it seems like you have lost...
Not just any kind of activity, because when I'm... it doesn't happen so much when I'm like interacting maybe, or when I'm doing seva or work. It's just, it's mostly around maybe housework, I think, yeah.
Okay, so let me ask you and see uh, we come to the same answer. Yes? What is the best thing that you can do right now to help the one that is going to play out in some time? Because that should be the question, isn't it? Obviously we cannot transport ourselves to the time where you're doing the housework and help that one. So you're saying, what is it that we can do now, you see, so that the one who is doing the housework later is not so affected by thought? We can only help you right now, no?
I can be open now, yes.

Yeah. The best gift you can give to that one who will appear later is for you to be fully, fully open and empty right now. Yes, yes, that's as simple as it can get, you see? Because then the mind's tricks of taking you into the past or into the future don't work, because you say, 'Okay, that may... that happened yesterday, it may happen tomorrow, but what is it that I can do right now to help that one which may show up tomorrow?' It brings the focus back to openness and emptiness right here, right now, you see?
Otherwise, what's happening is that um, in the conditioning which may show up tomorrow, you see, we are allowing that to bother us even today. So not only may something speculatively happen tomorrow, but even right now we are only concerned about that and hence we are already mentally there and not really here. And this is a very common trump card that the mind can play, you know? Keep saying, 'Yes, yes, you're okay now, but what about...' You see? Some will say business meeting, some will say housework, some will say something else. That may keep changing, you know? Some may say when my relationship is bad, some may say when my health is bad. Whatever the occasion may be, it is just a trick of the mind to take you away from, from your magnificence at this moment, okay? You see, if you meet God now, then God will take care of the one tomorrow.
