Who Are You Without Interpretation? - 13 June 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta emphasizes that the self is always present and untouched by mental interpretations. He guides seekers to stop relying on spiritual concepts and instead directly recognize their true nature as the witnessing, which requires no thought.
The witnessing is forever untouched by that which is witnessed, just like a screen remains untouched by the movie.
Who are you right now without the interpretation and conceptualization of the mind?
Rather than believing the thought 'I am the witness,' simply check who you are.

It is only the interpretation which is causing all this trouble. If you keep adding more and more spiritual concepts, more and more spiritual ideas, they're not bringing you peace. Please sit here now. I know nothing about lifetimes and things like this. I just know that if the Self is real, if the truth is here, then it must be here now. They don't feed yourself any of these ideas. Even the moves, they can come and they can go. Why so concerned about this play of this body-mind? So although the witness and the witnessing are one, the witnessing is forever untouched by that which is witnessed. Just like the screen in the end, they hold out in this beautiful play down there now, but they remain untouched.
To see that you are the witnessing, do you have to think about it? If you have to think about it, then it is not a seeing. Seeing is born of truth. The recognition doesn't need our thoughts. Who are you right now without the thought, without the interpretation and the conceptualization of the mind? Nothing. Oh, okay. Then this nothing is here. Is it concerned about lifetimes, freedom, when it is going to happen? Is something happening to nothing? Is nothing happening to something?
I have to keep reminding myself that I am the witness, I am the witness. So this is not bad, but even better is to, rather than reminding yourself like this and believing the thought 'I am the witness, I am the witness,' please check who you are.
