Are You the Auto Rikshaw Driver? - 11th October 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta explains that while spiritual dissolution destroys the false self, one must remain wary of the ego's expectation for external recognition or special status as a 'realized' being.
The dissolution of the false allows your presence to shine with light.
Expectations of being recognized as 'special' are just another trick of the ego.
True pointing is destructive to that which is false.

This kind of pointing is completely destructive to that which is false. But in the dissolution of the false, your presence starts to shine with so much light. And even the worldly appearance will start coming to you saying, "What's... there's something different about you." You see, sometimes we expect that to happen. You ask, so somebody... somebody here, the Guru... yeah, and just like, you know, that he chose... it was clear he... with Janaka, he got it. And he felt like something must be glowing and radiant over here. And then he stepped out of the Satsang hall, out of the Satsang gate, and this lady, she started walking towards him. So he thinks, "It's starting to happen now. People are starting to recognize my light." And she comes over and says, "Are you the auto-rickshaw driver?" You see, our expectation to see... to see the idea that "I have got somewhere," and how that also then clashes.
