Saar (Essence)

Ananta guides the seeker to recognize the vast space of consciousness that contains all sensations, showing that fear is merely a small appearance within an untouched, boundaryless reality.

There is a huge vastness within you which is completely untouched by this fear.
Your consciousness remains untouched no matter what the sensation might be.
We don't have to resist any sensation; allow it to come with a welcoming attitude.

Fear of the unknown is so strong but the right side of my body is tightening extremely tension. Guruji, what do I do now to fight with this fear?

Ananta

They see naturally, and a dancer it doesn't come, it's fine. But naturally if some answer arises for this: how much space is this fear truly taking within you? It can seem like our entire attention is getting used up in this sensation of fear, but allow the question to make some room effortlessly. How much space is this fear taking inside me? And if it is taking all the spheres, then where am I hearing these words? In which space are these words being heard?

Ananta

Then you find that this space of your existence can contain not just this fear but the entire universe. And we see like this, then we stop fearing the fear. There is nothing to fear about fear. Let fear come. There is a huge vastness within you which is completely untouched by this fear. It is just the nature of these things that they pull in all our attention, so it can seem like it's too much.

Ananta

But the example is just like I like to say: that if there is a big white wall behind me and I put a small black dot there and I ask most of you, if you didn't know the context, I would say 'What do you see?' Most of you would say 'A black dot.' Very rarely would someone say 'There's a big wall.' We are so used to this space that we have forgotten its vastness, its boundarylessness. You can contain the entire universe and many times this universe with no trouble.

Ananta

Just like the screen remains untouched no matter which visual is being projected on it, your consciousness remains untouched no matter what the sensation might be. So we don't have to resist any sensation. We don't have to fear any appearance. Allow it to come. In fact, if you want, you can keep a slightly welcoming attitude. You want to live here sometime? Let's see how long you will last. You will see that compared to the reality of you, all these sensations are just coming and going.
