Pain of Separation from Partner - 12th February 2021
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides a seeker through the pain of separation by pointing toward the true union found in one's own being, where no real separation is possible and all objective attachments are seen as a play of the mind.
Nothing real can ever be threatened; nothing unreal has ever existed. Herein lies the peace of God.
In your holy presence there is nothing lacking; may you come into the love of your own being.
If you rest, then the world comes to give you a kiss from within.

Master, how to handle or take the pain of separation? It is so deep that the rest seems all meaningless, or that there is no interest in anything including spirituality. Please guide. (Separation from the partner).
Okay. How to handle or take the pain of separation from the partner? It is so deep that all the rest seem meaningless or there is no interest in anything including spirituality. Yes, yes. So, I can completely empathize with you that you are going through this and I can understand what a deep painful experience that does seem like. So I don't want to trivialize it. I don't want to say just like forget about it, you know, because I don't sense that that openness is there yet.
So for the moment, I just want to give you a blessing that may this lighten. Take it a day at a time and may every day seem more open, lighter, and may you come in a greater acceptance, you see. May you rest in your presence more effortlessly and may you see that in your holy presence there is nothing lacking, there is nothing missing here and now. May you see that the old way of attaching was just a play of the mind, of these attachments and desires. Even this so-called oneness was just an objective play where something showed up in our perceptions and in our mind we made a special relationship mentally and said 'this is mine,' but it was just another play of perceptions.
So, may you let go of this objective attachment and come into the love of your own being where all beings are one. That is where we are truly one. That is where this partner that apparently a separation has happened from—that is where they are your very being. No separation can truly happen. I'm reminded of the words of A Course in Miracles where it starts with these words: 'Nothing real can ever be threatened. Nothing unreal has ever existed. Herein lies the peace of God.' So in reality, our notion of separation or our notion of union, you see, is mistaken. It is not the true union, not the true communion, not the true oneness.
Love, peace, and joy are the very natural byproducts of your being. As you leave your being open, as you're resting in pure perception, then you will notice that love, peace, and joy, they just show up, you see, in service to your being. You are not to chase them. In fact, sometimes so much of it will show up that you feel like you can make pieces out of love and distribute it to the whole universe and still you will not run out. It's just an endless supply. But not if you chase it. Guruji says, no, that if you go chasing then everything in the world goes running from you, but if you rest then the world comes to give you a kiss—the kiss from within.
