From True Insight, the Mind Wants To Build a Position for You

From true insight, what does the mind want to do? It wants to build a position for you. Okay? It doesn't want you to remain in just the sheer insight. You want to make that into a conceptual understanding or add that to your narrative saying that, 'Oh, five years ago I saw that I'm pure awareness and I'm enlightened.' Then after that, you see, who is enlightened? Who are you talking about? Who saw? All those questions go away, isn't it? So all the false claims also have no place.

So, most important is to have integrity with yourself. Have integrity with yourself because life will always show you. Then what people do—I've seen so many of them—is they're actually suffering inside, feeling a lot of grievances, resentment, all of these things inside, but they got so stuck in the egoic 'I am that' position that they're no longer working on themselves. They got stuck in that conceptual idea of 'I am that' instead of living in the true insight of being that moment to moment.

So be careful of these tricks of Maya. Be very careful of this because this is how, on the way to coming to the feet of Ram, we can become Ravana.
