Saar (Essence)

Ananta guides seekers to move beyond conceptual doubt and face the primal fear of ego-death by remaining completely empty. He emphasizes that true freedom is found in the total surrender of control and the allowing of all experiences.

Maharaj said that everyone has to go through their death to find their freedom.
Allow yourself to remain empty... allow yourself to die if you have to.
Let go of all sense of control. If the body has to fall, let it fall.

It's like if someone asks you a question and you say yes on the outside, but inside you're kind of like, 'No, no, I don't want to do that,' but you've said yes. It's like that. It's like an energetic resistance.

Ananta

Yeah, you see, a doubt is when I say the world is round, you have a doubt that this is true and you say, 'I read just now somewhere the latest research says it's actually not round, it's egg-shaped.' It could even be without...

Seeker

It can even be... it's not even...

Ananta

Then I would not call it doubt, because doubt is conceptual. What you are then talking about is this, just this energetic sense of resistance to allow yourself to fall into this. Yeah, you see?

Seeker

Yeah, yeah. It's... yeah, it's just like a... in a blur, yeah.

Ananta

Just how... how about if I call it fear instead of doubt? This fear is very primal. All of you are... get what I'm saying? It is fear or not? There is some fear to fall into this.

Seeker

Fear, yeah. That's what I was feeling yesterday. It just comes down to that, everything.

Ananta

And it is because of this primal fear that Maharaj said that everyone has to go through their death to find their freedom. Yeah. And Guruji has said you have to die while you are alive. So we don't talk strongly like this often because I like to keep it light for all of you, but do you have the commitment to die for this?

Seeker

Yeah, Father, because it happens anyway. Whether I try to avoid it or not, it happens like this anyway, like panic attacks in hospital and blah blah blah. So this isn't really a choice anymore.

Ananta

So right now, in the allowing yourself to remain empty, allow all of us... allow yourself to remain empty and let the thoughts just come and go. Let everything just come and go. Even if great resistance comes, even if it feels like you want to hold on to the floor, don't. Allow yourself to fall. Allow yourself to die if you have to.

Seeker

It's kind of not here because I don't know who I'm talking to. I don't know...

Ananta

Yeah, but then use this opportunity. It doesn't seem to come... like, Father, when I'm talking, use this opportunity to remain open. If the fear is not so strong in Satsang, then remain open. Then when it comes outside Satsang also, you'll be more used to this emptiness. This is the main point. The point behind all the pointings is this: to bring you to this point of death and to allow, if there is fear, to allow that to come and go. Whatever thoughts might be saying, allowing that to come and go. Emptiness. And you will find that this urge to go with these thoughts then jump around. So this fear and this urge is actually the same thing, but allow it to just bounce about you, but you continue in your allowing, not resisting, come what may. And if it feels easy and light right now, very good. It's... then you carry it about like that. This is how a sage is living: lightness of being, simple allowing all things to come and go.

Seeker

Feels... it feels light, but there's also the fear... fear there as well.

Ananta

Yeah, let the fear... let the fear vibrate. Don't even check too much. Just allow everything to happen. Allow all thoughts also to come and go. Allow your attention to move about naturally wherever it wants. No control over anything. Let go of all sense of control. Anything. Allow it to happen outside, inside. If this room catches fire, you don't leave. If the body has to fall, let it fall. See, now it's so small actually. It's small, the stuff that you try to make out like huge. Just exactly nothing. It's not even small, just nothing you.
