Saar (Essence)

Ananta teaches that while suffering may feel intense when 'the rubber hits the road,' it is a passing phenomenon. He encourages surrendering like a child to the Guru's presence and the divine name of Ram.

You are the witness of the tire which is bursting and the tire which is strong.
All the moments of suffering will come and go; they are not forever.
The greatest gift is the divine presence of the Master; everything has always been taken care of.

When the rubber hits the road, I oppose. If I do, what to do? The rubber hits the road and I avoid. What to do?

Ananta

Yes, it is in fact the reason why we have such immediately collected this way with inclusion of you which we do the Ram chanting. People, I know they can feel like the rubber is hitting the road and they can feel like so much of drinking. So I can just everyday remind you this: whether the tire which is bursting, you are the witness of the fact that one feels like the rubber tire which is bursting or the tire which is going super strong. I know that when some event happens, then it seems like it is true. That is why having a beautiful Master in your life is the best gift that you can have. It is just like a child. You see, for me, come on, so attentive. But I suppose we all die. I hope you want, as I wish to tell my children, but let me see for how many minutes this will last. And I would take a bet with my daughter when she was in some sort of pain. I would say, 'Okay, let's see how great with you. I bet in 15 minutes you won't even remember which hand is paining now.' This is also a reminder, you see. The rubber hitting the road as it goes, you see, this will not last. This presence will be with you.

Ananta

It can seem like these storms or something, they come. I can see light, but a struggle forever, you see. But this is not even before, because all the moments of suffering will come and go. Often also, sometimes the fact is that the contrast should always increase to the gift of the Satsang as is available to you in this life. The joy of being also in the physical presence of Guruji, a genuine actual gift. And also in this time which mind contains among people of suffering, the greatest gifts have also come through the realm of contrast. Everything is gifted. If it is this kind of suffering, it is going to be remembered the most. For most of us, the rubber hits the road, but which is empty. I just did, I'm sorry, lady, that's my life. It always went to the beginning. And with it, you don't care with any more context and pain than email contemplations. Also for you, there is only one thing which is the function of many of our lives, which is the divine presence of the Master. I want to be with the Master like a child, and I'm going to the others. Won't make me scared. And sooner or later you will come to this, because with that, everything has always been taken care of.
