Book Excerpt:

Lose the question, lose the answer...

B: You refer sometimes to “Silence knowing Itself”. It is slippery to think about how THIS knows Itself, and how it doesn't know Itself through this form?

Ananta: First of all, This cannot be understood in the thinking, there is no way.

B: Is that why it is slippery, why the thinking cannot touch it?

Ananta: It cannot touch it. When the words come through, they speak directly to THAT. If it is heard by THAT, there will be a recognition. If it is tried by the thinking mind, there is no way to enter. Mind cannot grasp or understand this. The only thing that is needed is a willingness to completely put aside all the thinking. Then it is direct.

Right now, when these words come through, if you are in an openness of spacious Awareness, you will really hear. If you are not, if you are trying to figure out what is True, blahblahblah, it cannot reach you. That's what Satsang is. The words move directly from THAT to THAT. It is not for the mind.

B: It seems impossible to stop the mind. How to go there? I love to analyse things, so how do you do it?

Ananta: Meet me HERE, that is all I ask for this moment. Just for this moment, forget it all, just meet. Lose the question, lose the answer. In this very moment, before you go anywhere. In this very moment, is there a thought? Right now, right now, right now.

B: No

Ananta: It’s good to tell the Truth. There is no thought. What do you do for that?

B: Nothing

Ananta: Exactly! You are doing nothing and there is no thought process. You just stay here. Don't care about all these questions and answers. Just meet HERE and let go of everything. You can hear these words directly. There is a Silence here, Awareness. This cannot be understood. You can hear it, and I know because I am you—and THAT cannot be understood. But you can taste and directly know it.

THIS that is looking through your eyes—that is here in the space between the bodies—THIS has been here all your life.

THIS which has seen every single moment of life.

And you do nothing for THIS, absolutely nothing to see this life happen. It has never aged a single moment, It sees the body aging and slowly changing, but THIS is not having birthdays. And someday, if it happens, this body will be crumbling and old. And still, THIS will not have changed. In a two year old and a 90 year old, IT is the same. Same Awareness, silent Aware Presence: Being. Using a form, yet IT is not limited to form.

In this moment, without going anywhere to think this through, can you tell me: where do you find yourself located, where do you begin, where do you end?

B: THIS is always knowing Itself. THIS does not need another thought. It knows Itself behind the thought.

Ananta: Now you are speaking from IT. You are not analysing. You are looking from Awareness directly. This is where you confuse yourself. You get identified with assuming that this is a thinking process. It is not. It is a direct seeing, which has been there your whole life, quite naturally... but IT has been overlooked.

It is overlooked and unrecognised as the same seeing that looks through every pair of eyes. It is the same seeing. I am seeing that you are seeing and IT is seeing Itself. It is the One Eye of the universe. The One who has seen everything.

Every single moment has been seen.

But when THIS is identified with a name and a form, misidentification will take this to be a ‘little me’—which is separate and thinks ‘Only I know this and the rest of the world doesn’t know about it’. But I’ll tell you, whatever has moved in your life, every secret, has been seen.

There are no secrets!

And this is because it is so simple. It is THIS That You Are that is so difficult to find. It’s like looking for your nose. You don’t have to do anything for it. It takes no movement at all to find what you are!

Down the ages IT has been pointed to and tried to speak This, but it seemed to be out of reach, so far away, because it is Godliness Itself, the Light of the Universe. The One which never dies, the Eternal Being.

IT is so difficult to recognise, because it is so simply what it is. So Now is the time that Consciousness is revealing Itself. So simply, you are seeing IT, you are knowing IT. But can IT be valued? Does It have the highest value in your life over everything else? That is the question. That is the difference between ‘re-cognition’ and living as an Awakened Being.

B: You said that it is like a deepening of experience, of THIS, again and again. Is there a line that is crossed where you just know that you know it?

Ananta: Right now. You saw it.

B: It is so strange, the thinking always distracts this.

Ananta: Yes, and that’s why we go to meditation practice; to practise and practise not to do that. Just so you can Be clearly what you are. But you Are already what you Are, it is a question of value. Because all of you who have been thinking that “You Are That,” still have identity in lots of bits and pieces of humanness, and that will need to come undone in your Awakeness.

The moment you recognise THIS as the first love of your life, then you are calling experiences to you to be undone so that more space for You to BE, is HERE.

It often happens that when a Being awakens to THIS, life becomes even more challenging. Everything comes up, all the old stuff reveals itself, because there is a readiness to say, “Okay, I’m only here for Truth”.

Often this gets interpreted as “I’m not there yet”, because all this stuff keeps coming up. But that is actually the undoing. IT is just making space for itself. It is about pouring THIS that is looking through your eyes into those new open spaces.

IT is being confirmed over and over by Itself. IT never fails to confirm Itself.
