Remain Open to Sharing with Integrity - 11 May 2016

It does get recognized the moment some such thing was on over, the moment there is a silence or the moment, you know, it's just even for a fraction of a second, it can be looked upon. But then it just felt like, you know, to expose it because it could be the mind that's coming in between and, oh you know, out of memory just bringing in or starting it in between not to have a continuous inquiry. So I felt in my heart to bring it to your feet so that whatever it is, I don't know, and there is no feeling to keep it or to get rid of it, but there is a feeling to expose it.

Good, very good. Now, I'm also happy that this openness, this integrity, is the genius part. That something could be—it doesn't seem like much—but if something still is there which seems to get your belief, you're open enough to bring it to Satsang, open enough to expose it in this way. Yes, as long as this openness is there, then nothing sticky will stick on. Now, she was asking about one of the pitfalls, some of the pitfalls. One of the biggest pitfalls is that we start feeling like we are now too special or too cool to bring up things in Satsang, or we are so Advaita now that, you see, nothing ever happens to us. Then that is one of the pitfalls. You find that as long as this realm continues, there will be moments of belief. Now, they will become more and more negligible, but we don't need to preempt that. You must always remain open to sharing with integrity. Then we are not getting stuck in the mental trap of specialness or arrogance.
