Saar (Essence)
Ananta emphasizes that all things are perfectly resolved in the 'unborn' or natural state of being. He guides seekers to abandon conceptual frameworks and the 'what’s in it for me' mantra to recognize their ever-present, empty nature.
All things are perfectly resolved in the unborn; we only feel they are resolved in the born.
What do you know when you know nothing? Your reality is completely apparent to you right now.
The entire distance between bondage and freedom is just about whether you allow the next concept to go.

Namaste and welcome everyone to satsang today. Satguru Mooji Baba ki Jai. I was at a great point where the world used to be was full of past. In this openness, in this conceptual emptiness, you are completely apparent to yourself. But there is nothing here for the mind; nothing here for the mind. And in your closeness, in your picking up of notions, we give birth to—not in actuality, but we seem to give birth to—the limited itself, the limited version of ourselves. So at least to the mind, it seems like at least that is something. You could be just sitting—not in the sense 'I am just sitting'—but just sitting. But the mind finds that very uncomfortable. It will say, 'Okay, at least I'm meditating now. This is my time to meditate.' It can't leave it alone. 'Oh, it will leave me like this' or 'It's very good to be in silence.' It has to have like a condition and be bound to that condition. And all it seems to do is blur or cloud up or block what we really are. To be at peace with yourselves would mean to accept this unconditionally; accept what is unconditionally. And you add a condition on top that it must be this way or it must not be that way. It might seem to provide some comfort to your mind, might seem to provide some fertilizer to your ego, but in actuality, it is the play of limitation, separation. And all of you can tell me a little bit what happens when you just don't carry any attention, not even to 'just sit,' but you can provisionally use the term when you're just sitting. What happens?
The ease of being. No effort. And this is it.
Easy. This is it. Also, it can be in opposition, or 'I'm getting somewhere' or 'I just have to do this, then I'm done.' This kind of thing—grasping at some notion, grasping at some conclusion. Like what did the Master say? He said, 'All things are perfectly resolved in the unborn.' All things are perfectly resolved in the unborn. But we feel that they are resolved in the born; that is the only problem. Where will you find resolution? Everyone has seen this to the meaning of motionless existence. All things are perfectly dissolved, unborn. Don't believe her next heart. What do you know when you know nothing of you? Anything this in one way or the other. But our conditioning says otherwise. Our conditioning says that resolution or whatever you want will come as a result of taking a position. That's why the game exists. At heart, it is very good, is it? Because at least then you expose the offers. If the mind is giving you this, it will offer you this. But all things are perfectly resolved before them. What needs to be offered aboard? So now as you say, there is the ease of being, just sitting. Now what?
Okay, that is really long. Is that a deal? No, good boy. Yes, so just like this within, call it original state, unborn, natural state, whatever. You see the Atma. This is just natural being, natural business. All these terms have qualitative differences; I'm just using them sporadically, don't worry. So all things are perfectly resolved right here and now. You, what you are, is completely apparent to you whether you think it or not, whether you feel it or not, whether you see it or not. Now it's your move. And whatever move you claim you to see it home or type it up. I'm saying empty, empty, empty, empty. Master Bankei said all things are perfectly resolved in this empty, in the unborn. Now it's your move. Whatever move you're playing, be honest about it and say, 'This is mine.' Okay, 'I just want to watch some TV, that'll result.' What you take away, the boredom of this? Not the boredom tickles. Yeah, yesterday what inside you hide this value, valuable? Yeah, what is perfectly resolved right here and now that is not worth it makes dreaming about my next trip to Maui. So the visuals are coming, that's okay. Maui visuals are coming. You feel that something external brings us this in a solitary route or peace or joy or something like that, you see? But it always comes from your own being, your own self. And there is nothing that you can see externally which is greater than the simple, innocent recognition of your own self.
While attention going to energetic movement, nobody attention you go wherever the nation wants to go. But our interpretation of it, that this should be or this should not be, can be one of the six. Sometimes the mind says it has to be this open emptiness, all this. Yes, it says it's nice being the open emptiness, all blue. If you buy the condition of time, then we'll keep you trapped in time. So when it seems to—we seem to get loose—it's like, 'I had it yesterday, why don't I have it today?' All these kind of things. It makes you an object within a time that is—you are not an object in time. Even in moments of grace, verbal comprehension kicks off and gets some momentum. I try to bring that into my awareness, then it slowly withers. Sometimes I buy into it. What if you suddenly lose this inquiry? It might be trickier going forward. This is the move. What is the guarantee? And the funny thing is that the one who needs that guarantee, the one who is in town worried about always and guarantees that continued find. So if it means someone has to have some courage to admit to yourselves that you don't even know who perceives this world, who woke up this morning, who is here now before you can make plans or have regrets? I'll make plans that you will reject. So you will mind when you pose as a mind, don't know any of this. But you in reality, what do you know? You as mind don't know anything really, or just depositing propositions, offerings. But you in reality, what do you know?

Thank you. It can become all blurry. It can sound layers, all nonsense. It can sound like it's not English. Why? Because we don't know where to put this in our conceptual framework. The weight of this between—how is this helping or how do I hold on to this? Does it fit into my understanding of the Upanishads? I'd say, what do you know when you know nothing basically? Then all your mind's propositions—tell me which word you ring yet. Okay, all your mind's propositions were about who is perceiving this hand, who is perceiving this world, who is sitting here now, who woke up today. When you check, you find that the mind's propositions are just made up like the fall. It is the fall for me doing this because many times I'm just...
I never gave myself the reward of just sitting. They always make the wasting time. Yeah, did she throat driven my back down to... so this is such a great gift. You generally moves myself. Thank you. We've been also on this treadmill using constantly, constantly getting, getting, getting, collecting, collecting, collecting. She's available. Yeah, I never gave myself this gift.
Give yourself this gift. Sorry, one more then. It really bothers me. Won't you become socially irrelevant? Well, with the wrong people. The right people will be ready. Yeah, no, you can see like that. But more than that, I just want to say that if you become socially irrelevant, would the truth still be worth it? Are you willing to spend this human life in a lie just because the perks of social relevance, approval, acceptability, even being liked and popular—are you willing to live a lie just because these perks are there? So it could be your valid question. You could look at it and say, 'Yes, yes I am.' And that's fine. This life is very like a playground; you play with it as you choose. But if you see that 'I really want the truth and anything, I'm up for the truth.' So I'm not saying that you will become, but I'm asking whether if you did, would it still not be worth it? Because what is the value of truth versus everything else? Yes, social relevance, approval, being liked, expected. Yes, yes, yes. For whom would the social relevance be? All here elements. What will survive death? How many friends will you have after you die? It's basically the—if there is a qualification for satsang, it is then a Nachiketa qualification. We shared the story of Nachiketa the other day. And the my two pitches in the story, Yamraj, the Lord of Death, is saying in this aspect of the story, saying, 'But I'll give you this, I'll give you that. I'll give you pleasure and you friends. I'll give you a good life.' And this young boy said, 'Will any of this survive death? And if it is coming and going, if it is going to go tomorrow, it might as well go now.'
So in The Matrix, this is one man who says, 'It's fine. I know it's a sham, it's a matrix, it's just Maya, Leela, whatever you say. But I taste this wine, I need this steak,' or whatever he was eating. 'Leave me alone.' See, that's fine. Those who enjoy really Maya and are happy with whatever it is, I have no motivation here or intention to push them out of figure eight or something like that. It's only those who come and say, 'I'm done with this. Give me the fruits or give me that which is beyond time. How do I find myself?' Then we can really meet. And it's not a judgment call. It is just consciousness playing as various aspects and that is fine. But the struggle encountered is easy and you want to keep one foot in that door and one foot in this door. 'I want something here, here also. I want something there, there also.' And the funniest thing is that are you really with the mind even enjoying this world? It makes the truth insipid; it makes the world insipid. Have you truly perceived even anything? Unadulterated perception? We constantly mix everything with the thought mantra: 'What's in it for me?' and 'How can I hold this?' and 'How can I not have that?' You see this kind of thing. But primarily, 'What's in it for me?' If you were to just perceive this living without any emotion, without any concept, unjudged, without interpretation, it's so full of wonder. Even this phenomenal, just the sensation of temperature, I'm now living to this illustrate which of hardness or softness. The sensation of hardness or softness, the vibrancy of the shades of the shadows to object, even taste the Leela. And sometimes in India, it is said that it is the sages who were the maha-bhogis. Don't get wrong ideas. It is just this world clearly tasting even this Maya fully, so beautifully. And you ideas about how it should be, could be, could have been, must be. What a zoo. Why all of this? What is the cause of creation? To perceive this absolutely reduced to expeditions in object is a simple post or whatever. But now with the mind, we don't experience this, we don't experience that, neither here nor there. So they just will be enjoying that we visited this exhibition. It is obviously a joy.
Yeah, actually no, no nothing at all.
Yeah, because you are not living dependent on even the pointers. You're just making no distinction even between true and false. Maya, Maya, religious pointers to seek you out of your limited perceptions of yourselves. Once you discover that 'I am someone,' you're not living on that mantra 'I am Brahman.' I know is empty of all of this position. It is so open. There is no distinction between coastal and you and with the line, dividing line. Where do you stop and I stop? Where do I stop and you start? And they pick up this dividing line, then you play this game unlimited. So when the sages say, 'Don't be selfish,' this is what they mean. Don't pick up this harmonica of 'What's in it for me?' It is not getting you anything in reality. And where to find all of this? In your unborn existence, in the just sitting as we using. So what is this play of our time? Of course, I provided under the different definition. It is this game of providing some energetic support to be able to see that whatever truth I'm after is naturally present here and now. When the rest of the words of satsang digest to deal with the doubts—but, but, but, but. And there's nobody buy anything. But can actually hold on to this? 'But what happened to me yesterday was making me feel like that.' 'But you see, I have to leave in a week.' 'But' anything. It's like you are the Self now. You are the Self now. Everything's your truth is apparent to you and all things are perfectly resolved in this unborn. Is it so? In essence, you all move now. That's what I mean. Yeah. How do you meet this within objection which is 'but, but' with the claim which is 'yes, yes'? A house is empty you.
And there's nobody, by anything, that can actually hold on to this. But what happened to me yesterday was making me feel like that. But you see, I have to leave in a week, you see. But anything... it's like you are the Self now. You are the Self now. Everything's your truth is apparent to you and all things are perfectly resolved in this unborn. Is it so? In essence, you all move now. That's what I mean. Yeah. How do you meet this within objection which is 'but, but' with the claim which is 'yes, yes'? A house is empty. You follow this? You're the live one who gives permission. You're the only one in my life giving me permission to be myself. Yes, yes. That lessens... this sort of safe environment where you can just be yourself. You don't have to take any position here. You don't have to do this video that... come to a place where you can unburden yourself from all rules. Okay, Adi wants to speak something. Yeah, I'm just going to mute so everyone can hear you better then. So good to see you.
Sorry, Father. This should bring kind of... it's, you know, it's very beautiful in satsang, but bringing that energy, we like to... more of a phenomenal level. Something is happening in which, like, pulling all the time attention and that's it. Yes, it's a bit overwhelming and that, like, continuously, it's kind of environment so that, like, I don't know, it's difficult to be. Otherwise, naturally, I... I don't know, but naturally most of the time I'm without conditioning. But now, as you know, few months before... I know a few months before I was struggling with my office environment, then I changed my job last month, and only to find out that it's much horrible than what is. So I feel much better kind of environment which is not something personal about what is quality of work and that being which are like very elementary and it... it's so overwhelming that I didn't belong there and I just means it like it's kind of suffocating. I don't know what means... it's something very dismiss within what I've been doing and what they thought into the world level and that's like... and it's like a kind of, I don't know, it's like suffocating for most of the time in office and that pulls a lot of attention. It's like a kind of... it's like I have to come out of it and this is very strong pull for that. So yes.
Actually, here that I was... some very clear memories. I remember there were job situations which felt so suffocating. So it would feel like, 'Oh, good work,' and then at the end of the day, all the life energy was zapped out of you because everything was just like this. Like you're feeling this, you went from the frying pan into the fire in a way. So know that I have a sense of what you're experiencing and I totally understand the kind of frustration that must be there. Focus, and I want to show you that it all works out fine. Know that the Satguru's grace is taking care of you and just like this spiritual father of yours went through all these situations and somehow now come to this life of ease, it will also be the same for you. Just take it one day at a time. And also when I say life of ease, it does not mean a life without work or something. It's just a life where we are no longer differentiating between working life, whatever unfolds, unfolds.
You are aware that on Wednesday and we would be really curious also so that I can go and help the Rhema with office weeks. So, but the sense of ease does not go. Whatever the flapping of these hands, only the movement of this mouth might be, that is allowed to unfold. Then we start labeling things as... now it is sharing with some of the other day, possibly saying that when we make these terms, sometimes the terms themselves become oppressive, you see? So, you know, we sometimes say 'work,' but we have another term for another type of work we might do called Seva. And some of us who have the Seva attitude can say, 'Whatever Seva Master asks me to do, I am open to doing,' you see? But when it comes to 'work,' then that becomes like, 'But that is work.' But actually, both are what? It is just a movement of your hands at somewhere typing on the computer or whatever else and movement of this mouth to put it very crudely, you know, really using. So, so we just look at everything as in life as the grace of the Master.
I know it can seem very, very oppressive even. You know, there is so much gratitude for Guruji to pull me out of these kind of mental conceptual distinctions. So just take it a day at a time. Sometimes if a day seems too much, then take it five minutes at a time and soon enough you will be back to a place of ease. And this was one of the greatest gifts I got from Guruji, was to see that nothing that can happen in this manifest world actually can touch the reality of Atma. Of course, they instill common moments from time to time which are fairly rare; it can feel like something can get a hold, but they don't last. But here also there was a habit of like building mountains and just hold on to something and losses and feel about it for weeks sometimes. A lot... Guruji would call it a little bit tougher. So now what I see is anger can come, that is quite clear. But you can come, but resentment is hardly what is of ring, except a broad term which is talking about all of these things. The design and lead pride, you... I feel like pride is not something. But have you seen the faces of those who are caught up in pride, you see? They may not realize it, but that is awfully... here also there was a big violent action. The duty of life is that it slaps it out of you.
There is only one source of suffering, you see? That identification with your thought. Do you not even thoughts just have to identify with makes available thought? I don't resource of something. That's why you need only one point. Whatever point appears the most to you in your heart, it makes it seem like there is the easy letting go of just what the mind is proposing. Now, whether it is to the point of remaining in the unborn, whether it is the point of the reminder that even to know one thing is to know too much, whether it is a reminder to check who you are, whether it is a reminder of Guru Kripa Kevalam, which means everything is... whatever resonates most with you, that's what we mean. Because the problem is not as complicated as we might think it is. The solution is much more apparent than you may realize. But you see that this entire distance between bondage and freedom is completely just about where they open and allow your next concept, next motion to come and go. Or it is about meeting that opposition about yourselves, a limited version of yourselves. Then this whole life seeker identity that we have built up is expecting a glorious conclusion or something to it. It becomes very simplified.
It is it which is play. If you are actually now your receives, allow me to make that claim. Don't yet your Facebook. If you take a position, you are posing as the ego. That's all. There is no difference between the one and you right here and now. All your conclusions, let's just... they're just thoughts. You see them as just thoughts. They have no substance besides being towards the amount of valid Woodruff of reality. They're not a valid sentence about reality. And I say if they did still feel like there is a choice, then the choice is God now or meow. God is you sitting the... we will come jump in and how is this the side effect of this in simple cool? It's just a talk. Even if you call it pull or evening to or whatever, you see? Whatever the offering might be coming sounding like, 'Yeah, but what does it mean if that movement of attention is there?' If something gives it a meaning, it could be it's a pull, maybe it's a something. It itself is not saying, 'Ah, this is a pull,' is it? So this is our meaning of it. And it's good to expose these things because many times in our spiritual vocabulary we seem like, 'This is my beyond concept' or something like that. Like many times I get this report that it's not a thought, it's just energetic now. But even energetic is just the thought. Even to say energetic, to claim to know what it is, is just a thought.
Actually, everything when you say God now, everything has only one label which is called what? Can you say about this God ha? Call God. They were they trying to convey when I say God now? Yeah, everything else is just meet up with just a thought. Here this routine, if you need one pointer, one thought, one all-city to lead us to the truth, see whatever you like. Just use the tongue. Only use the kumgang. I will believe it that what is the report about ourselves? We can only use one overhead and kitchens go as many words as you like, but only one word allowed to God. God, God, God, God. You can sound absurd, you see? But what we claim is much more absurd. That's not what happened when you talk about work and I will keep this Ram. You ignored in your ventures. Hey, or to report now. You may feel like we made... the mind might convince you that this is worth clay or something. It's moving on one supreme absurdity to a lesser absurdity.
Father, I am so worried concerning my husband and his blood pressure is really high in the night and he got a new higher medication. It is so much. I feel I need to care for... care for him. At the same time, I know I can take care and good evening is to take him, but somehow he is being and it is a long time.
Who's going to be top? You will be empty of any positions. The body continues to play out the way it is meant to play out. Whatever... I remember I was speaking with someone who was caring for her father and she was the only one in the family who was able to do that in that plane. And they would be in the hospital together and she had been up for many days and she spoke to me and said, 'Ananta, I am just so tired. Who is going to look after him tomorrow? There is just no energy here and I'm only falutin. I cannot do it anymore,' you see? But there's nobody else to do it. And on that receipt from here was that just a Master's grace. If something has to unfold through your body and He has to provide the energy also to the body, so without taking all this dual Chapelle as 'and so I am doing it,' activity can unfold in this body and the one who is unfolding it is doing it with its the divine intelligence. So we don't need... it doesn't need any other intervention.
There is some little bit experience here of taking care of patients for a little bit, not so much, but it can seem quite draining. But I'm reassuring you that nothing is out of Guruji's grace. Nothing is out of His care. And just allow your body to be His instrument. Allow it to be moved by Him. All my love and blessings to both of you, my child. In case all the nouns can be replaced by God. God is happening to God. Why is God doing this to God? When will this end for God? When will God be free? Yesterday words were God is not with you. Thank you all so much for being in satsang today. Sadhguru Mooji Baba Ki Jai. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
