Heartfelt - 18th December 2019
Saar (Essence)
Ananta points out the futility of conceptual strategizing, guiding seekers to move beyond the mind's false representation of the self as a 'bundle of flesh' and return to their innate, heartfelt intelligence.
The mind's representation of the self as a bundle of flesh is utterly absurd and unstable.
The end of reliance on the mind is not the end of worldly activity.
Heartfelt intelligence functions without any reliance on conceptual knowledge or mental strategy.

Looking at something as you asked, maybe a few seconds before you answer, must do something. You know, this is a thought in the mind of what consumed the poison and then look for the antidote that they must be done. Amazing, all these suggestions, and then we attempt to analyze this and see, okay, how do I work this out? This mind that's strategizing and trying to do something. Also, the wish that they should roll, it has to be done, but their wish to come up and say something and expose... I give you heartfelt, it can be heartfelt. So what is that which you know which is not at all that is heartfelt? When I would talk to Guruji in that, many years ago on the hot seat, it did not feel like there was a thought that I was carrying it on something. This was heartfelt, which propelled me to go up on the seat. So it's strange that that which is most innate to us seems starts to seem a bit alien and a strange way of operating, and that which is almost again in terms of what it's putting us to be, this seems more... starts to seem a bit more natural. And as we come to Satsang, we are away from that music to our original heartfelt intelligence.
This also thought is also thought is also thought, I saw. But something, in spite of seeing all of this is thought, something still wanted to come up and expose something. What is that? It is the same one which continues to breathe, continues to beat the heart, continues to make the apparent universe function without any reliance on any conceptual... all its conceptual intelligence. So I guess the conceptual knowledge is a derivative of this, trying to reproduce or recapture the reasoning intelligence, but it can't because there is a fatal flaw. The fatal flaw being that its primary representation of the self is itself human. But that representation is absent. Going to do understanding in your include alongside as I let go these are plantation. This is not that you are not that you'll never be more found.
So the end of our reliance on the mind is not the end of worldly activity. It could be, if that is what the consciousness is that desire, but easily doesn't seem to be that way. Ah, so this question actually very good with both the question of devotion and how do I run in my life. And said somebody who sent a message... so somebody sent me a message, 'Oh, Ananta, but this fear comes. So how do I run my life now?' Or even the notion that life can't continue like this. According to which representation? Whatever representation being held in my intellect about how life could or could not be, those have turned out to be false. I tell me, observed in this representation, who is the hero and the center? One bundle of flesh. But look, flesh is the hero in the center. So then representation of yourself is so utterly absurd that anything built on top of such a shaky foundation cannot be stable.
