Non-Attachment to Advaita Concepts - 8th February 2018

But I'm very happy. One thing that I must point out to everyone is that if you are reporting on this, how the mind can become very attached to Advaita positions and the concepts of Advaita. If you like, 'These are tiny concepts, I have to hold on to those.' But that's not what I'm saying. It's very important. I am happy to hear these reports that empty emotions... that's why the one example was Maharaj, when he says these words which are being shared in Satsang are just the thorns they'll be using to remove other thorns, then to be thrown away. Or he says it is like the stick which we are using to light the funeral pyre, then that stick is also consumed.

And I'm very happy because as you are noticing this, that means that you cannot create a spiritual ego out of this. 'I have the best concept now, the best things.' But this comes and I'm just trying to... what happens is they're still fighting conceptually with things when they are here. So, 'No, no, the heart is good, I'm totally using... no, no, nothing's happening.' That adds to the resistance. Whatever is arising is arising still with the insight of what we hear. In my unlimitedness, all is welcome to come. So we don't need to use our mind to resolve something in life or to fix, to clarify something. All things are perfectly resolved in the unborn. Such a beautiful line, one of the most beautiful and elaborate: all things are perfectly resolved in the unborn. And the unborn is not a true motionless existence anyway. That means everything is just what it is.
