Saar (Essence)

Ananta guides seekers to recognize themselves as the untouched awareness that perceives all bodily sensations and thoughts, revealing that the individual 'doer' is a myth and the body belongs to the one Being.

You are the awareness that is completely untouched by whatever movement or sensation happens in the body.
Set your body free from the mind; this body belongs to Being, and Consciousness is the only Doer.
Find out if this awareness has any preferences or if it can be touched even by death.

Seeker

And then you said, so the understanding is the same as experience. Thank you, Father. This is very good.

Ananta

Yes, yes. That's why we say that the true understanding is not coming from mental concept. It's not just something theoretical. We can see like this; we can verify at this instant. So this mind is nothing but a bundle of these energies. They seem like thoughts, they seem like memories, imagination. Then emotions—another set of memories, another set of energies—and then we label them anger, regret, fear, excitement. Just energies.

Ananta

And how do we experience the body? You're also aware of the sensations which seem to appear in the body—another set of energies. And how do we experience the outer seeming world? Any physicist will tell you that it's just another form of energies which our senses are able to perceive. So this entire appearance is just a set of different energies, and this can be checked right away. So we can see that the thoughts are just coming and going. Emotions also are there, and different sort of qualitative feeling about them.

Ananta

And how do you experience the body also? Why do you say that it is 'my body'? All of us can check this right now. Become aware of all the sensations in the body, and these sensations are just appearances. Notice where you are. It can seem like you are inside the body; it can seem like you are inside the head. That's only because these sensations are there. But where are you aware of these sensations from? And they are just sensations which seem to be appearing in front of you and disappearing in front of you. Are these sensations happening to you, or are you just aware of them?

Ananta

All this bundle of emotions, soup of sensations—is any of this happening to a tangible entity called 'you'? Can we look right now and find such an entity without using our imagination, without using our minds? Can we find the experiencer of these energies and sensations? Is there anything tangible which you can call a 'you' or 'me'? Where is the awareness of all of these sensations? Is the body aware of itself, or is awareness aware of the body also?

Ananta

Pick up any sensation in your body, bring your attention to it, and find out who is aware of this sensation. And is this awareness in any way affected by whatever the sensation might be? Whatever the bodily sensation might be, is this awareness touched by it? You are aware of this sensation; this sensation is not aware of you. And in this way, you stay completely untouched with whatever might be happening in the body, whatever movement might be happening, whatever sensations might be happening, because you can see that you are the awareness.

Ananta

Check if this awareness is concerned by the appearance or disappearance of anything at all. Find out if this awareness has any preferences. For this body is dying—all bodies are dying—but can you die? Can this awareness be touched by death also? Are you really concerned whether this sensation of the body stays or goes? Do you have a preference even in this, or are even these preferences just imagined?

Ananta

Observe if there is any pain in the body, and in most bodies, on looking for it, you will be able to find some pain that you might not even have been aware of. And just stay with it. Don't try to fight it. Notice that awareness is unaffected even with this pain. You have no preference even about pain. Set your body free from the operation of the mind. This is God's body. The entire phenomenal universe is the body of God, and this body also belongs to Being. Just like the entire universe belongs to Being, this body is also Being's property. And this Being does everything. This Consciousness, this I amness, is the one Doer.

Ananta

So who are you that pretends to take care of this body? Who am I? What am I? Where am I? May all of us be forever free from all concepts about the body. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti. Satguru Sri Mooji Ji Jai.
