Direct Self Inquiry - 24th March 2015
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides the seeker to recognize that as the untouched witness of all appearances, one remains unaffected by life's disturbances. By relinquishing mental resistance and control, one discovers a fearless, unshakeable peace that cannot suffer.
Nothing is really happening to me; I am untouched by the content of any appearance.
Without resisting, you cannot suffer; there can be no sufferer.
Let it all come; the truth of what you are cannot be threatened by any appearance.

So, in the periodic sounds, in the sounds yours are, there came a sound which is heard from the other side. They said, 'Yes, yes, you can come.' Who's aware of all this movement in appearance? Does that one also move?
No.
What does this one look like?
They don't know, Father. I can't see it.
And this 'I', this 'I', who is this one? That was the main... so there was awareness of the movement of appearances, and there is some new movement in appearance which is saying, 'I can't see it.' The 'I don't know'. Is the awareness touched by this movement also?

No.
At what distance are you from this awareness? Where are you in relation to this awareness?
No distance. It is only the belief of the mind that keeps me away. That gives you... that gives me the illusion of being away from it.
Away? No way.
Only the mind which separates me. Yes, but the illusion is good to see. It's only an illusion. I can never be anything but this already. Last couple of days there's been a lot of movement. There's been a lot of, for lack of a better term, disturbance. And I've been able to kind of keep myself away from it, so I've been able to watch it for the most part and it hasn't disturbed me. But at times the disturbance gets pretty loud and fills up the whole screen, so to speak.
Yes. So imagine that the whole dream is filled up. When it's full of muck, how does it touch you?
It doesn't. But then when we see that it does not, then we stop fearing all our fears. Anything can come, anything can go, and we stop resisting life, right? We stop trying to control life. We let it unfold in a moment of richness and wonder.
Yes, because we see that the thing that is true here cannot be threatened by any appearance. And if you're brave enough, you can also say, 'Let it all come. Whatever has to come, let it come.' Is what I am weakened by that?
No.
Yes. So show me how you can be touched by anything which can come and go. If the mind is ready for that, then our spirituality changes its complexion from being a very weak sort of spirituality—saying, 'This happened to me and then this happened, and then I went there and this happened'—to saying, 'Nothing... all is allowed to come and go, but nothing is really happening to me.' I am untouched by the content of any appearance.
Yes, Father.
And then we allow life to unfold without any resistance. And without resisting, you cannot suffer. You can be no sufferer.
