Saar (Essence)

Ananta teaches that while the self remains unchanged by notions, the spiritual journey involves dropping the false identity of personhood. He reveals that liberation is not a future achievement but the most effortless, immediate reality.

The self remains the same whether you hold a notion or not.
Dropping notions is not a doing; it is the stopping of belief in the mind's conclusions.
Could it be that what we have been chasing is actually the most effortless?

Ananta

Without a notion, you are just the same. With the notion, you are just the same. But the only difference is that then it is this Self which is posing as if it is a person. That is right. This spiritual journey is the journey of dropping all notions, and yet in the play of life, it can seem like the journey unfolding. But the dropping of the notion happens only now. You cannot hold on to the concept that one day I will drop all concepts.

Ananta

What is the good news? The good news is that even this dropping is not an exercise that you must do. It is not a doing in that way. It is the picking up—it is belief in the notion, giving the assent to a thought, believing the conclusion that the mind is making about you—which is the seeming effort. Could it be that that which we have been chasing for so long actually is the most effortless?
