Existence & Being

Do You Exist?

Your own existence is God - you only deny what you already see; no mental gymnastics needed, just recognize 'I am'.

Seeker

Can I say something… when you said, ‘Your very presence is God…’

Ananta

Forget it. [Sangha Smiles] Forget it, I never said it. You just heard it. [Sangha Smiles] What did you understand? That is why I am saying ‘Anything complex; just leave it.’ If it rings true in your heart keep it. If it doesn’t ring true in your heart, leave it. Leave it. It’s just an addicHon that you have to solve something. I didn’t understand that - Good, good. [Sanga Smiles] Understood it – Good, keep it. Didn’t understand it – Good, leave it. It’s all good [Ananta Sangha Smiles] You feel something is incomplete Hll you understand something.

Seeker

Well not about understanding. If I don’t want to put it in a very polite way, then just show me, show me.

Ananta

Show me? I am showing you every day. [Ananta Sangha Smiles]

Seeker

I am not seeing it.

Ananta

You are only seeing It, but you are denying it in your mind. All you see is It.

Seeker

Where?

Ananta

Everywhere, all you see is It. Do you exist?

Seeker

Yeah.

Ananta

That is It. Everything is in the light of your existence, that is It. What do you want it to be? I am showing you what it is. What do you want it to be?

Seeker

It means ‘me’… I want ‘me’ to be free.

Ananta

It means ‘me’… you wanted to see God, how did it become about ‘you’?

Seeker

Okay, God or Self, anything. I want… I am not denying… okay I am not sure It is there or not unHl I see it or know it.

Ananta

Okay, do you exist?

Seeker

I do exist.

Ananta

Yes, this existence is God. Who knows of it’s existence?

Seeker

I.

Ananta

That is you. That’s it. You will never find any other Self than that. And as I say every day ‘If you don’t burden this discovery with what should happen to ‘me’ because of it’ - no trouble. [Silence] No mental gymnasHcs of any sort are needed. [Silence] UZer simplicity. UZer simplicity.

Key Teachings

  • Your existence itself is God - everything appears in the light of your own being
  • You already see it but deny it in the mind - no external search is needed
  • The only obstacle is wanting something for 'me' - drop that burden and there's no trouble
