Ananta challenges seekers to examine whether they desire the truth for its own sake or for personal benefit. He emphasizes that true liberation requires dropping all expectations and notions of the self.

Are you in the truth for the sake of truth itself, or for the idea of benefit?
No motion is worthy of you; stop playing games and shine the light of your own seeing.
Expectations of peace or joy often get in the way of the truth they seek to guarantee.

Ananta

There comes a point in Satsang where it's very salty. My question is asked: Are you in the truth? Are you for the truth just for the sake of truth itself, or because of the idea of benefit that it might bring? And if you can honestly say you are in look for the truth no matter what it brings. But if you feel that, 'Oh, my truth should be this way and should help my life in this way, it should be like this,' then we can keep playing this game. Just for the sake of truth, with no guarantee about anything. Even not even get no guarantee of peace, no guarantee of joy, nothing. Forget about it, because it is these guarantees that get in the way of them anyway. But even that, I don't want to tell you the reassurance in it.

Ananta

So, just the truth. Is that your heart's deepest longing, no matter what are those nominal things it brings or doesn't? If you can't understand the run on the part of such an owner, so this authority for you without a number, this is it. So at this point, one just decides to play this way, or there it really comes to this point where it's done with the play of 'me'. Talk to me. But if it felt somewhere that because of coming to the truth, 'me' will get something, 'I' will get, then you start to realize one day in Satsang that we're going to plant with no benefits.

Ananta

And if you feel that, 'Oh, actually it's been a search for some benefit,' then don't become guilty or no dienes about it. The point is not to make you feel guilty. The point is just to shine your light on that which you feel should happen. The chains will drop. It's not to make them shine, you know what? Like, I can see I'm in this for some thinking, but even in that motion, what am I considering myself to be the fall? Excuse me.

Ananta

So many times our motion is the power. Limitation can hide behind these expectations of something coming through spirituality. Expectation that something should happen because I sat in Satsang, I represent with integrity. If you look at this question, when you're shining a very bright light of your own seeing, and the false cannot survive the brightness of this. So I can see it is time to stop playing games, but I know consciousness will play as long as it likes. And this is just a claim on Gyan for me to have said that. But suppose you were to say that, stay with you inside. Pick up any notion about yourself, because no motion is worthy of you.

The Thread Continues

These satsangs touch the same silence.
