Honeymoon with Your Being

Let the initial honeymoon with your Being become a permanent marriage where Being takes care of everything, while remaining open to whatever unfolds in life's play.

Seeker

Today I want to offer you some things to you, first of all I want to say, I love you so much and yes…so one is that recently the desire for relaHonship is playing in my mind, not in general but for someone.

Ananta

You mean someone in parHcular, you like someone, let’s put it that way.

Seeker

Yes. [Smiling]

Ananta

Just to de-spiritualize, de –jargonize the conversaHon a bit, you’re saying you like someone.

Seeker

Yes, yes. It starts with the feelings and thoughts, it’s so beauHful but it just starts to go too much in the mind, I just want to offer it to you because it’s just at the same Hme I’m like honeymoon with my Being, I feel like this. So first it has started, I’m like honeymoon with my Being and a thing starts to come up and play in the mind so I truly want to offer this to you. And a desire to have a relaHonship also is here but it’s nothing so I just want to offer it at your feet.

Ananta

Very good, that’s very good, I like the way you put it, the honeymoon with your Being, let that become a permanent marriage. Let that become a permanent marriage and from this marriage and it’s not even a marriage because there are no two. You are the Being, the Self is playing as the Being so…but I like the metaphor, sHll, it’s nice, so may it become just like that, may it become just natural and easy that you’re on this perpetual honeymoon as you called it then whatever has to play out in this play of life that can play out. As you know that I’m not restricHng anyone from what should happen in this worldly play of acHvity nor am I encouraging it, I’m neither encouraging the relaHonship nor am I discouraging it, I’m open to let Being take care of that. Because the true honeymoon with the Being is where the Being is just taking care of everything. So if it moves in such a way that you end up in what we call a relaHonship with this one then all my blessings, if it doesn’t play out that way then all my blessing, both way full blessing.

Seeker

thank you so much and that you for this opportunity to offer everything at your feet, it’s most precious for me. I want to share something too, few days ago I saw a dream, it was a very interesHng kind of dream, a very strong one and I wake up, it was a very strong dream and when I wake up I was like, ‘what was that!’ I liZle bit check this dream and this brought me to the point now I share this with you. The last Hme we talked, the mind is very calm now, no problem nothing and while this mind is very serene I just want to offer it at your feet. Because I always offer its content at your feet but now I want to take a chance to fully, fully, fully be at your feet. A; Very good, this is very good. I’m very happy with this because what happens is that, to offer it when it is not troubling us that is very beauHful because usually what we want to do is making a relaHonship with it when it is not troubling us. So I’m very happy, this is beauHful. To see that it’s not causing so much trouble, it’s quite calm and peaceful and without taking a posiHon of being anH-mind or something just…[makes a dismissive gesture with his hand] because it’s never telling us the truth of our reality even in it’s calmness and it’s apparent peace. It’s very beauHful that you offer it even now. I’m very happy to hear that.

Key Teachings

  • The initial 'honeymoon' with Being should become a permanent marriage - a stable, lasting realization rather than a fleeting experience
  • Even when the mind is calm and peaceful, it still doesn't reveal the truth of our reality; offering it to the Master is the practice
  • Being takes care of everything - remain open to life's play without encouraging or discouraging any outcome
