Right Now God Is Here As Your Own Being

So, in the search for some special things, we miss all the very simple things which are just here. [Chuckles] This is here every day, right now God is here -- as you own Being, as your own Atman. If you found out one day, that God has always lived in your living room (if you found out God has always lived in your living room) what will you now search for? Closer than your living room... independent of this [points to body] or not. The presence of the greatest light, the greatest force in manifestation is your Presence. And the problem is (Chuckles] you can’t use it personally. So, this Being is the light of this universe. But this Being taking itself to be the person and then the person having personal expectations from this Being, is what the whole struggle is about. Can you just meet God just for God? With no by-products expected? Sat-Chit-full stop [refers to Sanskrit term Sat-Chit-Ananda] [Laughs] Does it seem like a sacrifice? ‘I want the Ananda [Bliss]’ I’ve nothing against Ananda, but over the years I have noticed how much of our mindset is about getting the benefit. And in (that) trying to get that benefit personally, we miss the obvious which is being pointed to. [Reading from Chat]: Father, lately it is felt to not invest in any character. To not try to accomplish or accumulate anything or to present my character in a light. There is some latent fear of surrendering. But it is seen that I am nothing that can be made better or worse. This is good, my dear, this is very good, except just be a little careful of any new position building. Like sometimes in our wanting to not present, then that can become the new presentation. Like ‘I just don’t want to present myself as anything anymore’. So, it doesn’t have to be this way or that way. In fact, it isn’t, [Chuckles] it isn’t this or that. So, don’t worry about this way, that way, neither are your concern. [Reads again]: Lately it is felt to not invest in any character, to not try to accomplish or accumulate anything... This part I would be a bit... look a little deeply into that. Is that just a negation of an earlier position and coming to neutrality or is it like “I am not going to try and accumulate anything now”. So, empty of the notion of accumulation or not, but not having a position with regards to it either way. [Reads from chat]: ...Or to present my character in a particular light. So, again same thing. Don’t try to hide away now, or present, present. Neither. [Reads from chat]: There is some latent fear of surrendering, but it is seen that I am nothing that can be made better or worse Yes, that fear is very, very common to have. This fear will come with messages like ‘But you have to take care of some things. How can you be so irresponsible’ like earlier we were saying… these kinds of ideas. So, as long as you can see that our surrender is not a new position of being the surrender-er or something like that, then it’s no trouble, it’s good.
