Ananta explains that while reality remains unchanged, satsang is the game of consciously dropping all identities and pretenses. He emphasizes that one must fully transcend the egoic play before claiming it is merely an illusion.

Satsang is the game where we come to empty ourselves of all pretenses.
Until you climb to the top of the mountain, you cannot truly say there is no mountain.
Nothing happens in reality to add to the truth; awareness is always awareness.

I'm just going to read one of the news messages. He says, "No to opposition, Father. Mirror, I looking. I'm that in the middle of awareness, absolutely in middle of consciousness I am."

Ananta

It is. Satsang is for this mirror of pretense. Awareness is always awareness. Consciousness is always consciousness. Nothing happens in reality to add to His truth. If something really happened to the truth, then the whole premise of finding the truth would be pointless. So what is Satsang for? Like, there are two games which are being played. One is the game of consciousness picking up more and more identity, more and more pretense. And one is the game of consciousness dropping identity and pretense. So Satsang is the second game, which is meant to drop identity and pretenses.

Ananta

Still looking up, of course, nothing in reality is changing because it's another appearance in the waking state. But the rules of this game is that if you come into this game, if you want to be a part of this game, then it will be your dropping of the pretense. Know completely, truly, that nothing matters in reality. But if you come into this game and keep saying, "But can I keep my pretense because it is just a pretense after all?" then why are you in this game? See, you come into the football field and want to play basketball. Obviously, you say, "What is the game you're playing?"

Ananta

The game of Satsang is where we come and we empty ourselves from all pretenses. Then we can truly say that it's just a pretense. I know it sounds down there, down. You might have the idea and then some insight into the pretense of the egoic play. But until you drop the pretense of the egoic play, you cannot truly say it is just a pretense. Just like until you climb the top of the mountain, you cannot truly say there is no mountain. There is no mountain you cannot scale until you climb.

The Thread Continues

These satsangs touch the same silence.
