Saar (Essence)

Ananta teaches that our true nature is effortless beingness, while the mind acts as a seller of masks that create the illusion of a limited, individual person through belief and conceptual identity.

The mask of individuality is played only with an idea; nothing truly makes a limited person out of you.
The mind is the seller of masks, even using the notion of freedom to create a spiritual ego.
Most naturally you are this beingness, this self, effortlessly; all appearances are just the play of consciousness.

Seeker

Pranam to you, Guruji. I was listening to someone, your Atma or not Batman, Atma. There's one beauty somewhere, maybe a list of people of a security team, so one of them was called Atma. So she wrote 'Batman'.

Ananta

The point was that as you say effortlessly, this you are it. But any masks that you put on will be then you will pose as something. You pose as Batman. This mask is a whole concept of motion. The mask of individuality is played only with an idea. All emotions can come or worldly appearances can come, but nothing makes a person out of you. Nothing makes a limited one out of you, only when consciousness itself uses assent to the idea of limitation and it gives its belief. Otherwise, this river of appearances is just flowing on its own. There is no individual entity to be found here.

Ananta

And why do some appearances come as they come? Because that is the will of consciousness. So why anything? Consciousness. This is acceptance. So most naturally you are this beingness, you are this Atma effortlessly. The mind is the seller of masks, or you will become a very special one. Even the notion of freedom can be used by the mind to make us so caught up in our individuality. This is called spiritual ego. The spiritual ego is 'I've discovered how special I am because I have discovered...'
