Ananta warns against the spiritual ego and the mind's trick of claiming realization to avoid satsang. He emphasizes staying positionless, as the truth is untouched by any mental stance or spiritual fantasy.

The truth is positionless; it neither needs inquiry nor the absence of it.
The spiritual ego causes more suffering because it holds even stronger ideas about itself.
Satsang is an alarm clock designed to wake you up from all mental positions.

Sometimes it starts like, 'Oh, why are you still going to Satsang? You should have got it by now.' And I don't know that... that Satsang again, it's the same.

Ananta

So, it's also not happening to the realization. All positions are about the ego. The truth is positionless. The positionless doesn't need to go to Satsang, nor does it need not to go to Satsang. The positionless doesn't need enquiry, nor not doing enquiry. It is neither doing nor not doing. Positionless is untouched by any appearance.

Ananta

Now the mind tries to sell you the story of its idea of the Self. I'm very glad that you exposed that because it's common for many, many days. 'You don't need the enquiry, you don't need Satsang anymore,' you see. 'You are the Self. You could be sitting with the tree and you see this tree is my...' This fancy spiritual fantasy, self-enhancing you that you are me, so convincing you that you are a limited object.

Ananta

So I'm very, very happy to see that you are seeing through these tricks of the mind and you're not buying any story of the 'me,' whether it is spiritual or whether it is worldly. Because otherwise what happens is that we give up the worldly ego and become spiritual. Nothing in fact... this spiritual ego is more suffering because it has stronger ideas about itself. So very happy that you caught it well in time and threw it out in the fire of Satsang.

Ananta

This is what the mind is trying to tell me. Actually, it happens in many expressions of consciousness that these kind of thoughts start coming and they start believing them and stop coming to Satsang. That is how consciousness is playing like that over there. And I know ultimately it is all play of consciousness, but the design of this alarm clock is to keep wanting you, to keep waking you up from all of these positions that the mind still wants us to take. Even the supremely enlightened position, all of these.

The Thread Continues

These satsangs touch the same silence.
