Saar (Essence)

Ananta guides seekers to recognize that the individual 'me' is a non-existent superstition. He points toward the unchanging presence of God or Consciousness as the only reality at the center of all life experience.

The 'me' is nothing but a prevalent superstition; nobody has ever found an entity called a person.
You are the light of this universe. The point of satsang is to recognize your unmissable reality.
There is only God at the center of this life; suffering only arises when the notion of separation is picked up.

I stayed on the one at the center of this life experience. They are believed, that one to be something individual; believed that there is a 'me'. There actually is very exploring. I think that there is no such 'me' at the center of this life experience, but finding the same one which is that all aspects of life is one consciousness. This is just... this is the primary confusion because even for freedom, we feel that this 'me' has to get this special quality called freedom and this 'me' has to become especially right. But that is never going to happen. So this is basically what it is: there is only God at the center of this life. I mean, all aspects of this right, this one being. And suffering only is part of the design, which is when to show up when the notion of some separation, the notion of some individuality is picked up. Well, same consciousness itself, same Ram itself. That's why one of my favorite things to say these days is: either partner or me out. So you simple, and yet this is what life is. Your presence, your existence itself is Ram. And everything in this existence is made up of that one being, one consciousness, one God.

Ananta

To see this, all you have to do is meet yourself. But meet yourselves empty of any the conditions, empty of any notions about yourself. Even the condition of meeting. Nobody has gone to king then I'm going to meet myself and actually found an entity called a person. Nobody is going. Yet your own existence is undeniable. So what must you be then? What are you now? No preconditions or judgments. How are you finding yourself to be? You find the one that wants freedom, that wants anything at all. Produce that one. That is a mere concept with the universal phenomenon. The entity, if there is such a one. So then if you want something, you must just be a mere boxer because it's a nominal entity doesn't want anything at all. Even the phenomenal entity does not anything at all. This phenomenal body is not asking for freedom. Then who is?

Ananta

So even before we can take the first step towards freedom, let's explore maybe all idea because to take the first step towards feel freedom, you have to present what do you wanna. So where are you now and what are you now? Say that I read the story of the weekend. There was one lion cub that is born, but somehow for some reason it was born with sheep. Then the sheep said, the sheep taught it to say 'baa'. This is what the lion learned growing up. Wake up, which is a hot tool were to keep saying 'baa' and think that something is not natural with my life. This story was written seeker. Something is not matching with this life, which is kept saying eating grass like there's something missing in my life.

Ananta

So one day he meets the screen looking creature. So as lion never seen his own reflection, you just verify it looks like another sheep. But the strange looking creature this dislike them themselves. Are you doing? Haha, you're a lion. Wait, aren't you rolling me? Laughs. No, this is not used. I'm sheep. Like then let this come from? I have a special place to show you. This lion take the odd one to the stream and in the stream this one would lead itself to be a sheep. See this one little reflection and see that it is a lion. So the first time its entire line, it lets out a roar.

Ananta

So this example, this story really hit me because it just like Satsang. You have considered yourself to be something smaller what you are. You are the light of this universe. At the point of commanders of some is to its peace. Trust me like what that you check out this is and not saying take my authority rely on, but at least come with me to the stream. And don't be so quick to say what my sheep thought, I don't watch, but my see my motion is really getting to me. With that come and go. You come with me as I show you this mirror of self-inquiry as I continue your reality which is unmissable. It will this 'baa baa', the sheep's level.

So what happened in the story? Did this sheep have an awakening experience and become a lion? I love what the one said to knowledge, which is the dropping of that which is follows. You have a condition which you believe about yourself which is that I have a limited entity. You have no evidence for this actually. You have stretched out some sensations and use that as evidence of your limitation. It is clear to you right now that every sensation is experienced and perceived only within yourself. And in the stream of sensations to picked out some of those and said that is me. It makes no sense. Desire, it is divided hypnosis. Who has done all this? Consciousness to move consciousness. And who would make this game of certain consciousness? Why consciousness? Over and over again for thousands and thousands of years, the seers have said that you are the one beyond birth endings. You are the one with no limitation. The diseases have come from any spiritual culture, any background, they always come to the same conclusion of your limitlessness.

Ananta

Is there a being sitting at the center of this life? Is there a being with some limitation, with some boundary that is contained in some sensations that is here? You while what I wear. And if you are actually just the body, if you were actually just the body, why would you come to Satsang? So something already knows that I am not the body and beyond this here experience the limits of this instrument. And something is already nagging you think, but these cannot be the limits to me. I cannot be the one that lies along with this body. This is running by the way at the speed of light towards its device. It's weird to be long. There's something going to be left of you like that now. Recognize that now. What is the body? Just another set of sensations. Which one is that one whose hears this body? The pain of the pleasure, the aging of it. It puts this all of this.

Ananta

And if you don't know that is very good. At least don't presume. Say with the don't know, but don't make up this make-believe 'me' who has all these made-up attributes. Jim kept changing throughout this land. Sometimes where he honors, very not eating, something very right chills and the real easy changing. But they want money, what they want to listen to, what they want health, freedom. Who is this one and how long but we continue to cater to this one without really putting this one in the witness box, in a box and asking why? If you find this limited one sitting there to me and by all means cater to it. How long will we continue to serve a superstition? The 'me' is nothing but a prevalent superstition. So doublet that we have nobody has even. It's more prevalent than Santa Claus, okay? For Santa Claus here, but this supposition of the 'me' nobody has, but everybody has a story about. You always been sitting in your house all this time, but this non-existent 'me' has been knocking it over. All that you've been doing is this. What do you want this lunch? Okay, run to the kitchen war. Next best relationship. All this while denying your reality. What is actually here now?

Ananta

I don't know one time I'm from Peru just already and she told me that you say nothing. You're saying that you don't find the person, so don't leave that person wrote. Swear I didn't, thank God she said like that. And I just asked her which the question that all of you have heard so many times. I just asked her: okay, I show you God and you stop being his being. It cannot be stopped. He's gone. And because maybe she was just fresh, she never heard no, she's not yet she did. She was not here to I tried that before. See see this so new and the mind did not built up not defenses against this question. She just saw this is to the same 'I am' to separate ours forever at the tea don't see. Why is your very presence it's a scheme? I am his Moses found this same. What is here done way too busy answering the bill well direct experience. You're finding this holy presence, this divine presence, presence of the Self. The time is one.

Ananta

So it is not that both sides of this equation is like that. Oh, I don't find the person but also you ask me to believe in God. I am not asking you to believe. I'm asking you to check what is. What is this? Is this? What does it mean is? What is it to exist? What exists? What is has been constant even in this life? And baby was born and there was a teenager, there was a donor. This is here. This one that is sitting in Satsang, what is remain the constant? And you ask the spiritual seeker what do they want? They want some sense of stability, some constant peace kissing. But what has been constant? But they were longing for constancy but all our experiences constantly be changing. So can we get some stability in that which response will be changing? So you must be able to find that which is the unchanging. Every person you have met is changing already in the day were not changing you are changing you. So from a relationship you cannot get that constant. There must be something which is unchangeable, untouched by all of this change. I'm down which we do you have to look to find that. Every census ever brought me something which was unchanging. The same tire L is the relevant change.

Ananta

So what if you look in the opposite direction? Who is aware of all of this perception? Is that changing moment? Anything else you found that without changing this direction? This side of 'I am'. This is 'I am'. The side of mine about this side before 'I am'. Who is aware of even 'I am' admitting another realm of change? I'm eating something outside of yourself. Is there any sitting there? But is there a sense of help you you on this unchanging awareness arises this beautiful light of presence, light of existence. And yet hidden under rising of this aspect nothing is diminished on the Absolute. All these reunions as a part of it. And this beautiful light of presence, existence, 'I am' is the only light there is. Everything else, all other light, it is a reflection of this. And the light of your existence, all this field of time and space happen in this direction by the direction of the same light. But do we call it God, Self, who? So everything is moving the direction of this one consciousness and all that we have to do is admit that everything is the base of consciousness itself. At the end of all wise, Guru Kripa Kevalam. There is only light in this universe. Atma, own presence, and everything is directed by this consciousness. One light and everything is the grace of that. All the form of the Guru is gesture of the representation of this life. The true light is your only and contaminated by the notion of limitation.

Ananta

Like you died before Satsang, I was sharing with you that suffering is only that to which we are not yet accepted that it is the true power of the Guru. If it is the grace of the master, that which we have not yet accepted its own. Accept that everything, everything that is happening in this play of light and sound dynamics fields is the grace of the holy festivals. But till that happens, it is the same holy presence which is enjoying the taste of this game. And something has a 'me' at the center of 'me' also going to suffer. Without a mediator center, 'me' has to be there to further out. But this 'me' is not real.

Ananta

There are two main temperaments that come to Satsang. One is attracted to inquiry. So for those who say right now it was this 'me' that you considered to be at the center of a exist. I know whether there is such a one. Find out who you are. Who am I? There was something to whom this kind of inquiry seems to Indian physical. You might seem like you're more but they ain't a temperament, devotional them to those. I want to get in without any doubt. Everything, everything, everything is the Satguru's streets. Nothing a bit of gas moves without the video this divine existence, this divine consciousness. You what's your next move? What now? Buddy me sleep ola but she trying to be alive. The 'me' is a mere denial of notice didn't I love the isness rather what is called Maya is it this illusion of non-existent the villains of this phenomenal world which has inbuilt into it all of these Japanese including thoughts, emotions and pain. All this blue light and sound at time and space that's from Maya. That is a sham.

Ananta

There is nothing. A bit of gas moves without the video, this divine existence, this divine consciousness. You, what's your next move? What now, buddy? Me sleep? No, but she's trying to be alive. The 'me' is a mere denial of... notice, the denial of the isness. Rather, what is called Maya is this illusion of non-existence, the appearance of this phenomenal world which has inbuilt into it all of these appearances, including thoughts, emotions, and pain. All this blue light and sound, and time and space, that's from Maya. That is a sham. It is neither existent nor non-existent. It's like saying that you whirl a fire at the end of a stick. Does it seem like a point of fire at the end of the stick? And then slowly you perceive a circle. Is there a circular motion in the one state? You can see the circle like this. Is the circular fire there? At a certain moment when you see it, it is only undeniably perceived, and yet you know that it has no tangible reality.

Ananta

So, in relation to the Absolute, the clear world appearance, Adi Shankara says it is neither can you call it existent nor can you call it non-existent, because even the quality of non-existence has to be within the realm of Maya itself. And yet you know that it is a coming into your... the one constant. Everything else comes and goes and doesn't leave a mark on you. So, if your definition of reality is that which is the unchanging, so in relation to that, this changing realm of phenomenal appearance is unreal, the illusion of Maya. So, from the ultimate perspective, all of this realm of appearance is just right there, existing, not non-existent, fine. Within the play of Maya happens this sphere of seeming separation.

Ananta

Shankara has the famous example, of course, of the rope and snake. So, the rope is the reality that is unchanging, and the appearance of this snake is from Maya. That snake is this phenomenal perception of something which is non-existent, has no absolute reality, because it is also part of the rope.

Seeker

But my self, Father, my dad is sick. I have heard, please bless me. I don't know what it means. A blessing is to the Father. The space my father is, I am also. My divine mother is Mahamaya.

Ananta

Oh yeah, here comes a certain point, like he said, where the time is final. These then were good questions to share this signal, absolutely. So here, it will forget about... there comes a certain point where even this light of this universe, the deity of the waking state, ultimately, like Nisargadatta Maharaj, will become an American Indian. They forget about this consciousness which was right now. And some contradiction: what do you mean forget? Forget is also functioning within consciousness. There comes a point where you would say, 'Oh, the world is because of this I Am infection.' That quickly evolving, that ultimate light of the universe, that aspect of the Self which appears and disappears within the Self, it's a supreme law of all the perceptions, all phenomena, all the degrees of this. That is where eventually, yeah, this I Am, she is called Mahamaya.

Ananta

See, for the Absolute, doing this is a communion, but actually best if I don't speak about these. Everything you know, the mind is to jump. What Nisargadatta Maharaj said at his own story, he remained with the sense I Am, and that I Am, its dissolution created the recognition of that which is the unborn. So basically, freely, not me. If you make any positions out of any of this that you are hearing into this at some more length, they're going to become very, very sticky spiritually. If you feel like there is a position which you have to take on the basis of what you just heard, or what you are naturally finding as a simple recognition which is not special... although, you see, the recognition of this is not special. In words, it might sound like it is something ultimately special.

Ananta

Why? As they remain with emotional resonance, we'll have a recognition of that which is before I Am. It will make illusion of the field. If other than the field here, from beyond I Am, the story and the distinction of pull, then who is pulling his truck? And you're ready for that which means the owner. If there is a tiny iota of distinction about anything at all, it's best you forget about it. And as you forget about it, it might seem like I'm taking the candy away from you, but I feel the candy is really apparent, even if full of edible topology. Thank you.

Seeker

Every day I clean, I get lost till they remind me I can't be wrong so far.

Ananta

If it was not happening every day, then we might not absolute symmetrically. So when all the pull of our conditioning, the pull of this play of fire and seemed to in this field...

Seeker

I will never leave you, Father, in any dimension. So shall I surrender my I Am existence to your children?

Ananta

Surrender is a play. When I Am is here, who will surrender that I Am? Shiva sees by himself as to these elaborate. So what can you surrender? In your deep sleep, your dreamless sleep, you see nothing. So surrender the play of surrendering all motions that you can have about I Am. The motion 'I am something' has to be surrendered. The identity you give to this I Am has to be surrendered to come to this unassociated, unassociated presence I Am. Who is to say that this I Am has to be surrendered to that Absolute Shiva? It is for Shiva to do whatever Shiva wants with it. When I Am has become associated with you, surrender all your concepts which are nothing but limitations about yourself. That is not even that power will be behalf. Would you clear with that idea? But to surrender this I Am itself? So I Am, when it gobbles up the 'ham', you can say that is surrender. If it wants to play with it again, it gives birth to it. Although this is Shiva itself. That's why I say okay, it is more than enough that you surrender the notions that you can have about yourself.

Ananta

But I have very little to say these days, only seeming repetitive things. It seems like the stickiness is this worry about not being here in such an innovative way. So you must come every day and expose this body. So, and thank you so much, beloved beings. In Satsang with Guru Sri Mooji Baba. Jai. Thank you. Well, I am.
