Ananta encourages seekers to embrace the immediate realization of King Janaka rather than the excuses of a struggling seeker, noting that their eyes already shine with the truth despite the mind's claims of being stuck.

Are you going to be Janaka now or are you going to be Arjuna?
The eyes are shining with bliss, but the mouth reports being stuck.
Your excuses are starting to sound like hollow reports from a mind that isn't telling the truth.

Ananta

So, can this retreat be like this Chapter One of Ashtavakra Gita? Are you going to be Janaka now, or are you going to be Arjuna now? We should not always beat up on Arjuna—he was a great warrior—but you know what I mean. Are we going to pick up quickly that seeker perspective and say, 'But, but, but this is left, this is left,' which are going to sound more and more like hollow excuses now?

Ananta

Because really, yesterday I was feeling like, how long is still left in the retreat? Because it seems like not only am I done with what I want to see, but when I look at her shining eyes looking back at me, it looks like you're done. What else is there now left? When I look at the shining eyes, it is like that. When I hear the mouth talking, then... so I wonder which one is telling the truth? My feeling is that it is the eyes which are telling the truth. The eyes are shining with such great bliss and joy and peace and light and everything, and the mouth comes with the report, 'Father, I'm stuck with this thing.' Well, you don't look stuck at all! What's your move now, huh? You?
