Saar (Essence)

Ananta emphasizes that spiritual awakening requires the total dissolution of the arrogant ego through surrender to the Guru's grace. He teaches that one must become 'nothing' to truly know the ocean of mercy.

Discipline is arrogance; only grace can open your eyes.
I can never know the ocean unless I disappear.
To be at the feet of the Guru is to be on top of the world.

Happy tears. Oh, I was reflecting on the nature of the Guru. It took me a while to know the immensity of you, to know the immense grace of the Guru.

Ananta

Ah, you see? And you know how long it took? This feeling is arrogance. Only grace, only grace can open your eyes. We are so blinded by arrogance, so blinded. Every move, we try to question the Guru, not knowing that the Guru is the source, the ocean of mercy and compassion. So you see, to melt, to disappear, because any separation is arrogance. I can never know the ocean unless I disappear. Just now, it is there. There is no... I mean, you have to be nothing. Like the Kabir Ji poem, 'I am ready to die.' That is so beautiful.

Seeker

Must be. If I can say to all my brothers and sisters: let it disappear. Keep my identity? The easiest way, the easiest way is to trust the Guru. To be at the feet of the Guru is to be on top of the world. Never question the Guru. If you're ready, there is no move away because we are not there, not there. Don't listen, just move away. Don't... never question the Guru's action. I was grieving yesterday.

Ananta

Yeah. Beautiful.
