Ananta emphasizes that the living Guru acts as a humble servant and doorway, whose sole purpose is to introduce seekers to the Satguru within and the ever-present light of God.

The Guru has a single point agenda: to bring us to God’s light which is within us.
I am just a servant to your longing for God; a mere assistant to your heart's truth.
The Satguru presence within us is the antidote to all the ailments of the human condition.

Actually, we spoke a lot about the significance of a master, why a living Guru is important. So today I just feel like to say that God is real and God is here, and the Guru is the doorway, the path to God, should be quiet enough to say so. The greatest gift in our life, our master, has one utility; this is meant for one thing. It is to show us God. Everything else is a byproduct; everything else is the Leela on the side. But a Guru has a single-point agenda, which is to bring us to God's light, which is within us. And in that way, because it is only the Satguru presence within which can bring us to the light of the unperceivable, so it is only provisionally that we can call a body a Guru. Only in the interim when we call someone, some body that we are referring to as a body-mind, a Guru, because that external Guru's job is to introduce us to the Satguru within.

Ananta

In this life, I was bouncing around in spirituality so much that till I met Guruji—my master, Mooji Baba—if that meeting had not happened, it's very likely that I'd still be bouncing around trying to understand things or trying to chase spiritual experiences. But it's only through his grace, through his glance, that the reality, the true insight of the Atma and the presence within the Self became apparent. So all gratitude, all reverence to Guruji for this, and without his grace none of this would have ever happened.

Ananta

So the one that seems to be Guru in front of us, it's just a mere servant to God's presence. We are servants to God's presence and just merely wanting to spread the love of God, the infection of God's light to all your hearts. That is the only service that is possible through here. This is the only way I can serve you. And I truly want to say that at least here it feels like although you may call this one Father and Master and Guruji and all of these sweet things, but I'm just a servant to your longing for God. I have to serve your heart's longing for the truth. I'm just a new assistant, secretary, whatever you may like to call them.

Ananta

And wherever that longing appears, and whenever, wherever it appears, I'm happy to serve. I'm happy to be in service to all of you too. I'll try to invite you to let go of your limited notions about yourself, or sometimes provoke you to let go of your limited notions about yourself, and to introduce you to the Satguru within. That is all that this is about. That is all that is needed. We don't need anything else also in the human condition, because the Satguru presence within us is the antidote to all the ailments of the human condition.

Ananta

There is just a foolish boy sitting in front of you, and it's still kind of shocking that God chose this one to also be one of His instruments to spread His light. Because there's nothing really to praise or to celebrate in this clump of food sitting in front of you, but all praise, all glory goes to this Satguru presence within you and my master. I want to bless you all from the depth of my heart that God's grace that has blessed this one with the true insight about His reality and His presence, may that be your truth as well. And may you all spread this truth to all your brothers and sisters in the world. May God make you all much more capable, much more articulate, much more beautiful in your own ability to spread my Father's light. And those of you who are willing to fully commit to spreading God's light, I'm happy to serve you in every way possible.

Also, it may happen today too, if I have through the expression hurt some of you through my chopping and my responses, please forgive me for that. Know that the intention is never to hurt you or cause any pain to any of you, just to get you to let go of your mind, to get you to let go of your limited ideas. Please forgive this humble servant of God for any pride that may come up here from time to time and hurt any of you. I'm so grateful and have so much gratitude in my heart for all of you that you found it in your heart to trust this one, to follow this one. That must be quite a leap of faith, because I don't feel like I could ever come to a master like this one sitting in front of you. Very grateful.

Ananta

More than anything, I just want to give you all my love and full blessings. Don't ever get disheartened along the way, because I know that on this journey there are many ups and downs, many frustrations that come. But the advantage of a living master is also to show you that it is possible. And if it is possible for a foolish one like this, then all of you have a very good chance. I mean it completely sincerely.

I went to a nice Sufi concert one time, and this was the Wadali Brothers, if I remember correctly. And one of them said that, 'I've been at this for so long, but I'm just starting to get a glimpse of what really music is. I'm starting to get a glimpse of what really music is, and now it's time to almost go.' So I have to say that I don't know about the time to go back, but it may seem like I've been at this for twelve years, but I'm just a beginner falling in love with God more and more every day and just starting to marvel at the magnificence of God. And that His presence is available to us, hidden in plain sight, accessible to everyone, completely universal. I continue to be more and more astounded about this fact and about this blessing that God has given all of us. So thank you for allowing this beginner to serve you for one more year, and may you all shine so brightly in God's light that the whole universe shines with His light. Bless you all. Satguru Mooji Baba Ki Jai.
