Ananta teaches that the mind's claim of being 'not there yet' should be met with surrender or self-inquiry, questioning the validity of the internal voice that speaks to a self that does not exist.

Surrender is to say that whatever the mind brings, God is the doer.
When the mind says you are not there yet, ask: Who is this I?
Why do you need a voice to speak to yourself? Who is that voice speaking to?

Ananta

My job is to come up with it down, so it will say, but something out of the surrender is to say, 'Whatever it is, but God is good.' At the conference, it's kind of low, well cool, easier. But autism, whatever doubt the mind might bring, you have a bigger answer. The Bhakti path is to say, 'Is this true?' or 'Who am I?' When it comes as 'You are not there yet,' that makes... Gladys says, 'Who is this I who is not there yet?'

Ananta

Recently, these are the career paths taken. Sound like they're very complicated, doesn't it? But actually, it's just this. Mind says, 'But you are not there yet.' If you say, 'Well, that is Guruji's problem,' you know, surrender. Mind says, 'But you are not there yet.' You say, 'Who is this I who is not there yet?' And by the way, who is almost speaking? Either or both, okay?

Ananta

And if you let all the mind is my true voice... Have you ever made a phone call to yourself? That I'll dial a number and call yourself? Why you need a voice to speak to yourself? So, in response to the mind's doubts, be able to ask, 'Who are you speaking to?' or 'Who is in that speech?' Rather, question will do.

The Thread Continues

These satsangs touch the same silence.
