Saar (Essence)

Ananta honors the passing of his devoted disciple Amaya, urging the Sangha to meet this moment empty of concepts. He points to the undying reality beyond the ephemeral nature of life and death.

Is it possible to meet this moment empty of concept, without relying on a mental version of what happened?
Use this as an opportunity to find the undying while this body is still warm.
The truth cannot be spoken; our mind's version is never an accurate representative of direct experience.

Ananta

Namaste and welcome everyone to satsang today. Satguru Sri Mooji Baba ki Jai. It's a bit strange to look at the list of participants. There was one constant over the past five years, maybe six years—and nothing is completely certain—but almost as certain as the sun is going to come out, you would know that Amaya will be in satsang or she'll be the first. It seems even consider the idea that there could be this satsang without her in this room. But really, more than grief, what is here is so much gratitude, so much thankfulness to that expression of consciousness that leads us online. I think that these are also very good opportunities to really contemplate, to really look deeply. Because, of course, humanizing it looks like it's a bit easier. I apologize if I start looking at this as a little bomb that you can put. You can see that all of this, we understand how it actually played out. You realize that it was meant to be this way.

Ananta

And something some of you have shared, some very beautiful versions of this which are very sweet, and I enjoy reading all of them that are really from the heart and heartfelt. But I really feel like there's a greater opportunity here. There's a greater opportunity here to not interpret, to not judge, to not conclude that we understand, but to really be with it in full open acceptance without relying on needing to have a version and understanding, which is mentally what that is and what actually happens. Or having taken her case, and in fact, not just death, but also life—the same unfathomable. And when we make our interpretations and our judgments about what life is about, that is, if you like, the sort of avoidance, looking away from this reality which in its phenomenal aspect can sometimes punch you in the face. It's unexpected. But to say that 'I understand this is why it was,' I feel like being not in full service to what even in death she is pointing us to.

Ananta

Is it possible to meet this moment empty of concept or understanding? Not to reorder mycology around the events of the past few days, but in reality. That was a little while ago. I lost her message to me before she came to India. She said, 'The book is almost complete and I have some suggestions for the name.' And then she tried only one silly action. She said, 'A wonderful idea is directly coming.' She said, 'This suggestion is that the truth cannot be spoken.' And of course, as usual, whatever she would come up with, I would think, 'No, no, this is not good. That's something I like to come up with. That must be then you need to do.' Because that has been the theme in a sense of the past year once. And then I said to her, because she was just preparing to come to India, and I said that I'm so happy, some would love to come on. And of course, we can spend a lot of time on this aspect of the story and talk about how that eventually turned out to be these kind of things.

Ananta

My feeling is to think that the point is to the fullest consciousness. What is it that we is that a spoken truth can be really confirmed that this is how it is? And if it is not so, and we are empty of a concept of truth, does that in itself mean that we are lost in terms of an understanding of this worldly? I read that with a greater reality or Brahman. He will soon be over to reality. This is the question at the root of that: is our mind version ever representative or accurate in terms of defining even this phenomenal reality or that which is your direct experience here and now? That which I would like to say for a moment, that which is beyond life and death here and now. Is that more naturally in this unborn, this undying? At the briefing in tato, he said, 'Read the horn here.'

Ananta

You feel that beautiful, graceful, the entire sundar. Because I read in the past two days, I see so much depth, maturity, and holding to all of you. Thank you so much. If you want to, sweet messages that the past few days... I mean, I have the chance, I feel like I've read most of them. Also, I have to say that there was a bit of concern how family will receive like this, but they were so beautiful. This creates in gratitude. In fact, they were some time to do after every step of the way. They were just saying, 'Thank you so much for taking care of my sister.' So she has to go. There is another mother that she was taking care of. Then we created a WhatsApp group with them and kept them posted with coupons and just with information every step of the way with everything that's happened.

Never in there did you feel that they were upset or resentful. And so much that to them, one of her brothers actually said that 'We are not that concerned about the body because the body,' he said, 'is just like a shell, but we are very happy to feel that her soul is...' I don't know whether he's ever given satsang or exposed to this Eastern philosophy. Really encouraging words that came all the way from America. They said that we won't have passport, people travel university. They were up the entire night tonight. They first are very beautiful sentiments. They said that 'We are not able to come there, but whatever life is...' Her mother said that, her brother said that she wanted to distribute her belongings to charity to be helped by them, but they wanted to be because they were not part of the last rites, a cremation should believe. They said, 'We want to be more than that.' So the American consulate today has offered to ship the belongings to America from Delhi. And some hair carry default consulate.

Ananta

There were some rocks we deleted out under just under the cremation, dozen beautiful, beautiful stones that were part of it in the fire of the cremation. So we took a few of those. What was I... until we put one of those rocks in the bag. So I sent the message to others. He's the basic, you know, 'What is it? Thank you so much, so glad a fan because we would have one billboard pet dog is goodbye.' And everyone was... and I have to say especially we see constant support for Maya over the past few weeks. Then somehow he offered to come and I was her then about to be. She said, 'I'll deduct the Lea.' So he came to this beautiful drive with everything, with the most innocent one, the most innocent hearts. And activate them, what if energy is there? And she gave the reason English and sort of was there another boy that he just met when Amaya had her accident from 23rd. So she we have... and I have to say that there was this Russian group of Russian people who it is anytime we needed something, we showed up, you know, and very sadly, very quietly, love and devotion business help so much.

Ananta

When you trying to say that energy was not able to organize some people who carry the wood and make the funeral pyre, so I said, 'Let's not worry, half will come, let's see what happens.' And then you having some trouble locating them because we were not answering these boys. So the scientist messages and he wasn't... statistics sweet under TKN. And because through the riots and one of the local authorities, police Baba automatically until became more people supported was get out. And also this is imagining that the doctor who was coming every day for hairdressing industry, he's so much loved that he visited before we had a small prayer meeting that was even when I got there that he came for that and he also came to the cremation. You could tell that he was touched by what he was. Okay, images today's long pit came out easy and if you wanted to do something happened that's rude of the do we feel changes funny moments with the Romans we right for any of you that wants a share.

Ananta

And with the feature and zoom, I don't know if it's accessible, you can tell me on chat if you want to speak something or there's a raised hand thing. By the way, the sleeping on the chat that authority happens to be in this occasion to 6/10, so is he able to get the news of this one clear making that we haven't? So she was okay, we can always be represented allergy. I deal with him, good were comfortable place to sit. It's very strange for the transcription every single day. We own every because you've read a mission every day, there was a message from her every day, you know, even while she was in the hospital, even what she is was in that Donna is over every day. It just seems like the inartful suddenly for 2-3. The last transcript I didn't finish for whatever you have in do it and then it seemed that love should I do know it was this like, 'What should I do now with this transcript?' It was like, 'Where will it go?' you know. It's just completely like a vacuum in a way, you know.

Ananta

And even she was really funny because on the side she would chat with because since she got that WhatsApp she was like sending pictures every day and like silly things. I should say, 'Okay, how do I keep these guys happy? You know, how much do I have to pick them? What should I do with them?' And so I don't know, I still kind of like believe that so deeply. It's only an epic apical thing comes on your, 'Okay, now what you do know?' you know. It's really you have to say also very beautiful occasion and I have to say that he was not surprised by how many people were writing him and they made the commemorative goes to the speed-up group and so many other troops in here like to be just so completely in service to this irrespective of yeah deeper 421 splitter so beautifully in service and so well loved. She was like the conduit for this sharing for so many means esteem if we Minotaur know somebody's writing anything, 'I can't believe she's gone and she helped me so much on this one along the way.'

Ananta

Yes, and the transcripts, you know, the desorden is defeating the they just send me spook in the morning just to see how and we realize the quantum of work involved that like no one person today concern to the proofreading to because Excel sheets right then now make the book sir side how many if he see new but you know like one person did all of that and they after me never something yeah there confuses she confuses she once told me where once told me while chatting let's see a dream of property smiling at her and say, 'Oh you are you're doing transcript for my son I know my client do' and she was so happy to share that my position with US policy passes yeah visit one time October she's doing like so much people feeding it's Albany and at least I can say for myself listening to that UNIX is putting mine in there but she is 2%.

Ananta

I have to say that absolute especially challenging the transcripts team here is a bigger challenge because this is one me mumbles a law or three sometimes uses some Sanskrit words or something you know just and doesn't exactly we just wrote it you know key occasions where the n-channel fix it all you know and whatever mistakes or what she was doing and not just today I did the transcript which I had suppose with me and done five days ago and I did it three times because said now nobody's gonna read it again you know you wear it it's like this certain thing said she's not going to be very correct the whole thing is about sometimes in the transcript you could see the precepts or something.

Ananta

Last year nobody obviously I think there are lasting that's it people learn so much this believe people resume see she was sending messages to almost a very last minute dyslexic answers the 732 here and typically is for children without you really I did presentation of to share she stayed Maui yes we always just so incredible and she sacrificed everything was she the most beautiful face organizing meetings for Wayne Dyer although masters is to come me because that is to send those Hawaiian songs and yet nothing and because she said so much I was inclined to go and see that movie which was native Maori about how intelligent of Maori they won't I love lol I just wanted from here how it is and creep at the same time which is the same just leave the same and I just to say this gift has biggest gift I ever received and and so much arrogance what is playing here and she's just fighting all these things you know this is j.

Ananta

Masters used to come to me because she used to send those Hawaiian songs and yet nothing. And because she said so much, I was inclined to go and see that movie, which was native Maori, about how intelligent the Maori they were. I love, I just wanted from her how it is, and great at the same time, which is the same, just the same. And I just have to say, this gift is the biggest gift I ever received. And so much arrogance was playing here, and she's just fighting all these things, you know? This is just the right, that's so much righteousness. You see, all of us, I mean each other at this point in our heart. If you like, she also told us how to be beautiful. Some are memories. She was like a big sister supporting all of whatever anyone needed. And then sometimes she was treated with someone who she would say, 'Father, this one I'm handing over to you now.' Many times she used to be something on Sundays, and at times it would become much lower, then she would say, 'Okay, okay, now this one I'm giving to you, Father. This one I can't deal with.' But never, she never abandoned it. Only within ten minutes, she would be back to communicating with them and saying, 'I'm sorry.' You see, let's associate very beautiful lessons in keeping the Sangha together in patience.

Ananta

Okay, Santa said, 'Father, I want to see this on the square.' For that, Lisa, there's some working white noise or something like sometimes this is lucky. Ratna says, 'I can't bring myself to open the transcript at Father. Five years of doing the transcripts with her. They just sell 17 books done, Father. Buying juice, 17 books, the 17 books.' Ratna says, 'No, no, Father, I've been contemplating about life and death after Amaya Ji's death. So much pain is here. Just listening to her name and seeing her picture, I feel to cry and not able to accept that she isn't with us. It feels more pain how everything is uncertain and nothing is promised. How can I plan anything and nothing is sure? When I contemplate on this, it's like I just have to, I just go blind. Her death has such impact on me that I have no words as to what I can speak about life or death and just left with no words at all. Her death has really touched me very deeply. If I open the chat of transcripts, I feel her. I also wanted to hug her and talk to her so much. If she came to Bangalore, she had plans to, but how on earth who knew that this would happen? What can I say about life or death? I'm speechless. Thank you, Father.' It's also grateful for her.

Ananta

Achyuta says that a number one instance when there was a lot of snow at her plantation, she stated she had to shovel a lot and her fingers were hurt. She told me that she was editing with band-aids on her fingers. I had to request her to stop for a while, but she would hardly take rest, always ready to serve like that. At times felt like superhuman. Even if she felt overwhelmed for a short while, she always almost immediately returned back to her childlike nature. Anil says, 'Yes, Father, in my darkest night of soul, she supported me like an elder sister. Can I come up? I remember one incident.' Yes, Anil, there's some more requests to come up just now because I was pulling you in and then you can come. Achyuta continues, he says, 'Also in my last conversation, she told me that she knew the Sufi whirling dance and would love to do it when she comes.' I can picture that. This is help, our network is not good, leaving now. Amaya mentioned when I shared that there are some comments about visiting Bangalore unanswered, that it's always like people assume that she will always be around and she goes, 'How will they figure all this?' and she just huffed and puffed and let it go.

Ananta

Ellen says, 'When I first heard of Amaya Ji's passing, my first response was unknown, but almost immediately there was such a joy for her with her freedom. It was as though she was there formless.' Okay, okay. American gung-ho couple of minutes, that's the Father. I will just really watch you. This is for today, Amaya Ji, and I was out of some, yeah, and you just broke all the contacts. So I was asking her, 'Do you know how to correct scorpion traits?' So she is writing, 'Father would slap my hand for getting into such person-fixed things, Lord. But Scorpio is the great alchemist, so can use that.' So I asked meaning, she said what I said about from scorpion, which is also about the one sign which can be with the dark side of the world and face it in themselves that leads to the transformation. Trust, thanks, it will the serpent as in Kundalini rising, which already happened to you, signifying wisdom to rise up from the lower stuff that lead to the transformation. Trust events into the Phoenix Eagle, which is seeing, which is not only the only astrology sign which flies above it all untouched by it. No Scorpio can sting a flying bird, nor can any snake harm it. But she's with the vision and beyond boundaries. So I thought, yes, you and I both see through. I know snakes' energies. So he said you, so your highest level of that alchemy without denying anything is the seeing, the vast vision, the knowing you are untouched and above it all while in this supposed material world and embodiment. So I told them, 'Yes, this thing has happened, untouched yet not in behavior, me to learn skills, still a poisonous snake, not in Negosia.' So she wrote, 'See, nearly nothing can help in personhood fixes that I know, except witnessing and apologizing when hurts someone.' So I read, 'I would vanish, had yet to be cut and replaced by Shiva.' So he said, 'The scorpion in the last will sting itself to death.' My relationship with her was like two kids, you know, me, eight-year-old boy, for five-year-old Wendy the musician. It was very, very innocent relationship. Thank you.

Ananta

Thank you. Then Lucia's here. Lucia, I want to say something. We didn't come until Father.

Seeker

Hello, Father. I don't know if you can hear me properly. Oh, I don't know how this works is that if there are two mics open at the same time, it's not so clear. So while you speak, I have to mute, that's why I'm unmuting and doing hands. Something really wants to share, but I don't know if I can even put words to it. I've known Amaya for eight years and she has always been like an angel to me. And I used to post, well I still do post all the time, quotes from Guruji. And every year Rishikesh would come up and every year I would sit by my computer and cry so much because I wanted so much to be by Guruji's side and to be in his presence, you know? And in 2015, Amaya sent me a message, like we would talk regularly, and she said to me, 'Lucia, I want to help you. I want to see you with Guruji.' And I said, 'But I can't.' I had just lost my father two months prior and then my little dog had just died and I was in a state of total surrender, you know? And she said, and I said, 'I can't, I don't have the finances.' She said, 'I want to help you.' And I said, 'No, no, I'm too embarrassed.' She said, 'Just try, you know.' And to cut the story short, the money came. And then, and she was in before the money was coming, she even said, she said to me, 'Lucia, I can sell my guitar so I can give you some money.' And you know, this is the kind of person she was. And since her passing, I knew that I loved her so much, but hey, it's just like this grieving has been so deep, so deep. And I realized that she's still giving to me through this, through her passing. She's still giving me her support because in this grief, in this deep, deep, unending, bottomless grief which it just doesn't seem to end, all I am finding my heart and I feel like I'm exploding with this love. And the love is for her, but the love because it's not, I'm feeling it in me and it's nourishing me at the same time. And I am getting people that are commenting on my posts and things like that and they're all saying to me, 'I had no idea how much I would miss her. I had no idea how much I love her.' And I said she's doing that to so many people, you know? And I feel that she's still giving seva even on the other side. I feel that she's healing our hearts through this passing. She's taking us deep into our own hearts and I just wanted to say this. And I have been experiencing her. Last night I couldn't sleep. Oh, actually I haven't been able to sleep for, I only have little catnaps here and there. But last night something came to me in my mind, I don't even remember what it was, and then I felt her and I knew everything was going to be okay. It's like, and because I would get shivers all over my body and like goosebumps, you know? And her presence is just here so much. And I just, at first I was really upset with what happened to her and breaking her leg and everything and even being, and I was trying to put on this brave face because I was really in shock and it really shook me for a few days. But seeing the cremation, seeing you perform it, you know, for her to be sent off by her Guru. She loved you so much. It's, you know, we met because of Mooji, but I introduced her to you and she keeps saying to me, 'How can I ever thank you?' you know? And how can I ever thank her? That's the truth. So I just wanted to say this, just how beautiful and how much I love her so, so much. And thank you so much for taking care of her right to the very, very end. It's just, you're just amazing, Father. I love you so much.

Ananta

Thank you, dear. She reminded me of this. We met, we met at the hotel and she said that it was Lucia who introduced me to you and I'm so grateful to you for that. I know that you mentioned something about grief and I just want to reassure you and point out that actually nothing phenomenal is unending. This grief, although it can feel like this at this moment that it is, there is no end to this, how will this ever go? You will see that so now then maybe you expect this grief when you allow it the space to play out as you are, it will not be a constant. It won't feel unending and it can be, it's already a bit sweet. I'm sure if you taste the sweetness even in this grief, but you will see that it will be replaced by her beautiful sweetness and fragrance and love. And you can just remain as open as possible with experiencing whatever is being experienced at this moment. But it is not grief which will last forever, but peace which always is. Thank you so much for your kindness and also I, you sent some messages about this video tribute you plan to make, so I'm happy to help in any meaning for that as well. Maybe some things can be taken from here, today's meeting, also some beautiful testimonies are coming, so we can use some excerpts here as well. We see how it goes, but I really appreciate the sentiment and the feeling with which you undertake this project and my full, full support and blessings. Okay, Canada's here. Cat wants to say something.

Seeker

Husband, I never, if I list some names you can use my Muriel and I saw Dad's name counting to five, ten. Oh, Daddy, is this a good morning, Father? Tim, I, good morning everybody. Should I turn it this way? I mean, okay, I'm in the car. Oh, come on, D. I love her so much and I go so far they say she's definitely my most favorite person in the Sangha. She introduced me to the Sangha, so-called sublimation would call me after because you and she desired, she used me, you know, line up. But not so much in, I haven't been on social media too much recently, it's, you know, for the wrong reasons, you know, Facebook and everything, I didn't talk about. So I just been avoided. I got a lot about her death, good grief, however I definitely heard a strong, just like, damn, I'm going to miss her. Like, really going to miss her. Anybody that's here to the screen, okay. She has such a light, Father, and her devotion to you was so inspired truth and seemed so selfless. I see that she served all the devotees in the way that she started me. I just thought I was by myself, you know, in that's such a great quality because there anybody knows that somebody makes you forget the most important person to know at that time that and I didn't know that and that's beautiful. I thought it immediately ever grateful for my life, ever grateful for her light. I was like Sangha before I was a time in my life but I wanted friends and this came up. She was the biggest part of it.

Seeker

I see that she served all the devotees in the way that she served me. I just thought I was by myself, you know? And that's such a great quality because anybody knows that somebody makes you forget the most important person to know at that time. And I didn't know that, and that's beautiful. I felt it immediately. Ever grateful for my life, ever grateful for her light. I was like songs up before. It was a time in my life where I wanted friends, and this came up. She was the biggest part of it. She was the biggest part of that. And I'm just talking to me soon, three o'clock in the morning, you know, on my sleepless nights, sending me Rupert videos and videos of you in your first account, Mooji. Just no one asked her to do it; she just did because it was the thing to do. What kind of love is that, you know? This was very inspiring. It's just bright. Like, I know you write her love for us was just right, you know? Definitely would be lost. I love her very, very, very, very much, you know? As long as we just keep in our devotion, we can... it makes me want to be devoted for sons, too. It's so contagious for me. I'd like to share better also that I love you, Amaya. That's her out here. I wanted to be a presence, you know? She has been a tool by God, whatever that is, but I just felt just been dreams, you know? Nice. Well, I love song. Love you, Father. Thank you.

Ananta

My dear, your reports always touch my heart so much. Thank you, and I'm sure she is very touched as well. Thank you. He says, 'By Lord's grace, got the chance to spend some time in hospital with her. It's also so touched by her childlike muscles and motherly love. It was such an excitement to know that Amaya is coming to Rishikesh this year and we will get to meet her, only to know that this is the last time we meet her in the body. Love her so, so much. May all of us be able to grow into her selfless love, kindness, and innocence.'

Ananta

All of you experiencing a lot of grief, my advice is to just remain as open as possible and let it be out. In fact, you don't even have to interpret it at all as this or that. Just remain open to whatever is arising without judgment, without resistance. Just open. Those of you who are tasting the gratitude and joy even in this, consider it a present from your sister. Beautiful reminders of the light-hearted moments that you may have had together. Enjoy it as the Prasad of your existence.

Ananta

And those of you who are just feeling numb, you see, or sometimes it can happen that if you're not feeling much, the mind can start trying to make you feel guilty or something. 'Why are you so uncaring? Look at all of them.' This is not a worthwhile story to go into. No expression is, and nothing that is coming up is right or wrong. It is just what it is. So if there's just numbness or no grief or no joy, it is just even just neutrality, which is beautiful, actually. There is nothing to feel bad about. All is accepted, always fine, all is grace.

Ananta

And as I started off saying, my invitation would be to use this as an opportunity to go beyond the mind, go beyond that which is coming and going, go beyond the stories, go beyond even everything that you think you know, because none of this is going to last. If this is an indicator of something, it definitely shows us the ephemeral nature of this life. We don't know anything. We don't know whether we will experience this realm in the next moment. And my Master would say, use this as an opportunity to find the undying while this body is still warm. And as one of them was, as many of you who are getting over in your heart, that'll be an inspiration to you as to how to be and how to help each other or to be constantly there to support me. We all learn from this aspect of our exploration.

Ananta

The only thing about Amaya would be complete without a mention of her love for Hindi movies, especially romantic ones. She used to love Shahrukh Khan, especially. Some of you know this Indian actor called Shahrukh Khan. She used to see... in fact, she confessed... well, I said in the beginning of Satsang that she never missed Satsang, but once or twice she confessed to me that, you know, because she was full-on doing transcripts all the time, so once she confessed to me that, 'I would have your Satsang audio on, but I would be watching a Shahrukh Khan movie with subtitles at the same time.' So that is the extent to which she cheated once in a while. But this shows that it was between me and Shahrukh Khan's side. Damn, man, so much. Yeah, many, many playful aspects to which all creation is only... I don't want this meeting to become this super solemn thing because that would not be an accurate representation of her life.

Ananta

We have many playful aspects. Even in the hospital, she was at moments crying out, and now Lucia will remember some of this, she's here, she'll remember. So she was crying out in pain and then within two seconds she would just switch and start making jokes. Yeah, she's just like... and then when the pain would come back, she'll be like, 'What are you guys doing?' shouting at the hospital staff and 'Don't touch my leg there!' I don't understand, you know? She's screaming and then doing this later, just make some joke and make everyone laugh. One of these stories you can tell sometime. She'd be like, because she was coping with so much pain, we were taking her to the MRI and she's like, 'I'm never going into one of these machines!' because, you know, she was very flower-power generation and all this healthy living and things like that, really suspicious of all these machines and things like this. 'Nobody will ever take me into one of these machines! I'm not going! It's just the hospital is trying to take my dollars!' You know, this just in the pain, all this was coming out of her. But within two minutes we explained to her, 'Amaya, listen, this is important and you have to do this, and they won't be scanning your brain or something, just your leg.' And she's like, 'Oh, okay.' Will you keep up there or something like that? And then Jesus is reminding me that she watched this movie DDLJ, which is Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, infinite times. Beautiful fun aspects to her as well, and a beautiful innocence which is not resentful but very open, easy. It is not that she was censoring herself.

Ananta

Supreme Self, I want to register my thank you here and touched to see the loving support she gave me was also untiringly given to other beings. Can one of us find it? Can we look little songs? What is the good way? Can somebody post a link, especially her rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' that I found very sweet? And I feel like I can find it if you give me a minute. Okay, coming here. Should hold on. Where's one of my best friends? He's online. Can I get in touch with a tough customer? High sugar, sugar. I hope all is okay. We are talking about Amaya. Could you talk about your... believe in Amaya? You have it up the street. Could you... you're gonna call me now? No, yeah, we are talking. We are talking about Amaya. Can you tell the experiences? You spent quite a lot of time in Rishikesh with her. You guys went from Delhi to Rishikesh by taxi, and even you were almost all the time stone. Could you tell us some of these things we are talking about? And put on here, we are sitting together with Ananta Ji.

One second. No, no, you're on. I have this opportunity to stay with her for this month because she really needed help to come to India. And not like financial help, because she got this financial help from the Sangha, and thanks a lot to all people. And she needed some practical advice how to get from Delhi to Rishikesh, how to be around Rishikesh. And before that, we had this experience of communication via Facebook for two years, maybe even more. She's my heart. It's not so easy to talk about this, but she taught me these basic questions: 'Am I aware now? Am I at the time aware? Can I stop being?' This I got from her just sitting at the breakfast in Rishikesh, and I was so happy to acknowledge. So we spent a lot of time together roaming around Rishikesh city, at the cafe, having conversations. Of course, she went to Satsangs and she was really happy to be there. And it's not so easy to talk about all of this.

And I was with her on that day, on that night actually, when she broke her leg while escaping from those bulls on the street. Due to some reasons, she decided to jump over the bench and she broke her leg. And everyone knows this story. But you know, she's loved. I don't know, maybe somebody will recognize her as an enlightened being. For me, it actually doesn't matter because she is my heart. She emanated these Satguru energies, if it's possible to say like this. She was ready to help me and everybody. And by the way, I know a lot about her because I was very much interested in her personality, who she is and how she lives and what is her past. So I know a lot about her. Also, for instance, about her previous visits to India. And if you asked me about her dream place, she always said that Hawaii is one of her most beautiful places. But she also said to me that sometimes when her mother will pass, she is going to buy the house or maybe apartment in India. Just inherited some money and buy some place to live. So it was her desire to stay in India in her old age, and I don't think that 62 is very old. So I don't think she wanted to die before, of course she did, but she did not... I mean, but she wanted to buy an apartment in India or a house and stay until her death there.

So she departed from us, and this day I feel better than yesterday, however still shock, still unbelievable. And thanks a lot, thank you very much to all Sangha, to Ananta for this big support to her. It cut off that connection, and so my heart is with all of you. I'm constantly remembering her. I watch all the photos and videos from the funeral, and thank you very much. Once somebody from Sangha asked me, 'Where would you want to have her ashes?' and I said, 'Probably, and it will be too weird, but probably Ananta's pocket.' You know why? Because she loved Ananta Ji. Of course, it's realer than real, you know? It can be like that. But you know, out of her love, you know, she was emulating this love from Ananta to me because, you know, I'm not very much into Ananta's side, however I felt something very transcendental coming through her love. Thank you very much for this opportunity to talk. My tears are coming. Thank you, thank you.

Ananta

She could convey love. This is Ananta here, and thank you. Yes, a lot that you did for her while she was there, and thank you for that night we spent together taking care of her in the hospital. And you know, I wanted to tell about your story about ashes in the pocket. What happened is that after the cremation, when we went there the next day, then I was just looking at the place where the cremation happened and there were these stones which were little burnt, these rocks. And one of the stones actually, I think they called to me to pick it up, and I told these pieces when it happened. So I picked it up and I put it in my pocket for her. She wanted to give up everything and be, you know, even when she said to me, 'I will go to Bangalore like in April,' and I said to her, 'Are you crazy? It will be too hard for you.' And she said, 'No, doesn't matter for me, I go there.' Thank you very much. I'm really great to hear your voice and to see that you donated this proper funeral. Thank you so much. Loving atmosphere.

Ananta

I think you completely... my privilege, and all of us are here together and we are sending you a big hug. We are all with you and just in this pain and this grief and this joy. Amaya, thank you for everything and thank you for your love and your presence and helping her so much. Thank you, my love. Thank you, thank you for coming. Let me put on the song. If I miss some testimony... I can believe that Shivani says, 'The last conversation we had, I started with asking her about how things were going with her...'

Ananta

I think you completely. It is my privilege, and all of us are here together, and we are sending you a big hug. We are all with you in this pain and this grief and this joy. Oh, Amaya, thank you, Gasti, for everything and thank you for your love and your presence and helping her so much. Thank you, my love. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Let me put on the song. If I missed some testimony, I can't believe that. Shivani says the last conversation we had, I started with asking her about how things were going with her leg, etc., and she said, 'What's the latest news?' and I said, 'What's the latest news?' She said, 'I'm having a hard time ordering a pizza delivery to the hospital.' Yeah, it's important to share these things. Sumati says, 'Love to all, beautiful sharing. Thank you, Father. I love you all.' Thank you. Rob is here. Rob says, 'I just wanted to share that I also lived on Maui for about four years, and Amaya and I would reminisce about our times there. She would send me a beautiful Hawaiian song at the most perfect time. I will miss her, and I also am being touched after her passing. She is breaking my heart open, and I am seeing beautiful things that I have been blind to. So much love to you, Father.' And also, ah, thank you, my dear. Beautiful report. Miguel says, 'Love to all, so much gratitude. Thank you, Father.' And well, I must be thanking... thank you, Father. Thank you, Amaya, for the reminder of Maui. Julia says, 'Father, would you please help with the title today? I would so much want you to choose it for beloved Amaya Ji.' Thank you. Of course, it will be my privilege. Vikram says, 'I feel to point out that Amaya was a beautiful example to others also in terms of not gossiping and speaking ill of other beings. She never supported that kind of personal energy in the Sangha, and I feel this is very harmful for a Sangha.' Yes. Atma says, 'Can I speak?' And I don't see you yet. Yes, yes.

I don't really have words, you know. I've seen everybody has already said everything that was needed. But I want to say also that I just felt her Darshan, you know, when she left the body. When I read your message, she was so here, you know. It was, I don't know, it was pure Satsang. I just want to say that I'm going to go to Maui in ten days, so I will try to find... I think Manila knew her, and I will try to find people who knew her, and maybe we can make a video or special ceremony for her also there and add it to the video or to the project, you know, that Lucia will gather. Yeah, I wish I had been there with you all, you know. I can feel the importance of the Sangha, you know, just such a beautiful family. But even here, you know, from Paris, from all over the world, you know, we are just one by one with you and with Guruji. Thank you so much, you know. Thank you so much for your teaching, your love, so much love and so much gratitude. I just want to say to Amaya and to all the Sangha, I love you, and to you, Father.

Ananta

Thank you, my love. Thank you. Thank you. I don't hear you... I don't hear you, Father? Yeah, I wasn't... sorry. So I was saying thank you so much, my love. And also I wanted to introduce Atma, who is Catherine. And Catherine, we got to spend some time with her in Rishikesh and in Bangalore. It was a beautiful time they spent. But thank you all for this idea. It's very nice. It's very nice. When you go to Maui, there's a lady called Sandhya, if I'm not mistaken, who knows Amaya from Maui. So Felicity most probably has contact, and we can be in touch with her and see if she has some friends there and we can just have some sort of meeting or something. That will be very nice. For those that don't know, Amaya was a beautifully sweet musician as well, and she used to play a lot of great music. So much music was put under the... our founder... oh yes, unless they have to listen to the music. And that was also the founder's guitar in Rishikesh, and the Russian group, they had taken one on the end, so they gave it to her sometime. So on the night before, or the previous night before she passed, she has recorded this song. So we'll ask for that and we'll play it in one of the Satsangs as well. I don't have it with me at the moment. Found a way to play it here. So this one is called 'Multicolored Wings.' Yeah.

Like a phoenix to the sky, I will spread my wings and fly. Eternity's just begun. I will breathe the morning sun. Like the phoenix... she's a beauty. Remember what my life is worth. Then I will land back in this place here that my heart calls home. I will... what is real, never be consumed... again. This one is... is it real? John, at your feet, he stopped to stay a little while. Use your head to the clouds, yes, smile. You heard the bird call to his mate. He saw a cat through the gate. You didn't move for a while, yeah, then you smiled. Happiness, it seems. Stayed in my windowsill, the rain changed. You walked away with such a flight. I can't command. When you... there's happiness, it seems. When you smile, when you smile, makes me smile.

Ananta

Such a sweet voice and beautiful melodies. Annie says, 'Thank you all for being my brothers and sisters. My heart is full of love this moment hearing beloved Amaya singing.' This is the... okay, so before we close today, maybe finding this one, Atma Shatakam.

Ananta

So this is the Nirvana Shatakam by Adi Shankara. He says: I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego, nor the reflections of inner self. I am not the five senses; I am beyond that. I am not the ether, nor the earth, nor the fire, nor the wind. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness. Neither can I be termed as energy, nor five types of breath, nor the seven material essences, nor the five coverings. Neither am I the five instruments of elimination, procreation, motion, grasping, or speaking. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness. I have no hatred, nor liking, nor affiliation, nor greed, nor delusion, no pride or any haughtiness, no feelings of envy or jealousy. I have no duty, nor any money, nor any desire, not even liberation. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness. I have neither virtue nor vice. I do not commit sins or good deeds, nor have I happiness or sorrow, pain or pleasure. I do not need mantras, holy places, scriptures, rituals, or sacrifices. I am none of the triad of the observer, the one who experiences the process of observing or experiencing, or any object being observed or experienced. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness. I do not have fear of death, as I do not have death. I have no separation from my true Self, no doubt about my existence, nor have I discrimination on the basis of birth. I have no father or mother, nor did I have birth. I am not the relatives, nor a friend, nor the Guru, nor the disciple. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness. I am all-pervasive. I am without any attributes and without any form. I have neither attachment to the world nor to liberation. I have no wishes for anything because I am everything, everywhere, every time, always in equilibrium. I am indeed that eternal knowingness and bliss, Shiva, love and pure consciousness.

Ananta

May Bhagavan Mooji, my Master, my Father, beloved Guru Sri Mooji Baba, always keep beloved Amaya at his lotus feet. May there be no separation between his heart and her. Will this be true for the entire Sangha? May we always remember this beautiful member of this Sangha. Great love, great joy, and so much happiness. May her presence always shine as the Truth in the heart. Always we are at Father's lotus feet. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti. Om Satguru Sri Mooji Baba Ki Jai. Guru Kripa Kevalam. Big hugs and big love to everyone.
