When Doership Remains, Go to Intuition for Guidance - 24th November 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides seekers to drop the concept of doership and surrender to intuition, which operates from a place of peace and love rather than the mind's needy rush, eventually allowing the Satguru's presence to move the instrument.
The most effortless path is to drop the concept of doership and neutrality regarding outcomes.
The mind is always rushing and needy, while intuition is spacious, peaceful, and unconcerned with outcomes.
Surrender to the intuitive presence until it uses the body-mind as an instrument for the Satguru.

The most fun, the most effortless, is to drop the concept of doership, which means having no concept of what to do and having no concept of what the outcome must be. Even the concept that I must get joy from this—see that to operate from that place of neutrality is very, very beautiful. So that is what is being pointed right here now.
There are also other—if you speak phenomenally, then I would say that follow your intuition as to what to do, you see. So if the sense, if a mild sense of doership still remains and the question comes, 'So what should I do?', allow this intuitive voice, intuitive presence, to guide you. And it will, if you're not impatient. Impatience makes us go to mind and ideas of what the mind is selling. If we are just patient and we allow intuition to reveal the next steps to us, it will reveal either as a voice which will be heard, or a series of events which will make it very clear what needs to happen, or just a feeling or an urge which can come, seem to come from a deeper place.
So many fall into this trick of not being able to distinguish between intuition and mind. And I've said that mind is always operating from a place of need, from a place of trying to grasp onto something, you see, from a place of 'what's in it for me?'. The mind is always in a rush. Intuition is very, very—in the sense that it's not needy, grasping; it's not concerned about outcomes; it's not rushing, you see. The presence of love and openness and space is experienced. See, so you don't experience this kind of thing with the mind. With intuition, it's just more open, more peaceful, you see.
So if whatever mild doership still remains, then we can go to our intuition for guidance on what to do. And if there's no audible voice or there are no visible signs of it, just the surrender to the intuition will make things unfold in an intuitive way anyway. Now, some will feel like even this intuition they're not able to really grasp, and all that is telling them what to do is just the mind. For those, then, it is prescribed that you follow your peace, you follow your joy. What is it that gives you more space, more joy in the world? Follow that. That is completely fine.
So speaking phenomenally, best is to go with our intuition because sometimes intuition can be actually counterintuitive. In the sense, the intuition can say, 'Go jump in that fire,' which is not joyful at all. So it can be counter to following our peace or joy; it can seem like that, but leading to a greater peace and joy, you see. But if intuition is not yet clear, then we can follow peace, we can follow our joy. As it starts to reveal itself more and more, we can follow this intuition which is not fearful, which is spacious, which is not in a rush, which is accompanied by love.

There will come a time where you will say that even to use intuition for this sort of personal guidance feels like, you know, using a very subtle instrument to chop a tree or something. So you will feel like this intuitive presence is just made room for in the sharing of Truth, in the availability of its presence for the rest of the world to experience its presence. And you will not usually—like here, I don't find myself saying, 'Okay, Satguru, tell me what is the next step I must take' or something like this. Just let go of that sense of doership and whatever is unfolding is doing anyway.
So it'll come to that. And then as Satsang starts to invoke the presence of the Satguru and we say 'Satguru Mooji Ki Jai,' that means we are handing over the words which are going to come through this mouth to the Master's presence. And that's to be the most beautiful intuition—using the body-mind rather than something trying to use intuition. So the intuitive presence, which is the Satguru itself, is now using this instrument to convey, to share the pointings of the direct Truth.
