Stabilizing a Habit of Not Picking Up the Next Thought? - 10th October 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta explains that while dropping the habit of believing thoughts may initially seem effortful, it is actually our natural, effortless state. He emphasizes that consistent satsang helps prevent the mind from adopting new false spiritual beliefs.
Dropping the habit of picking up thoughts is actually effortless; it is the picking up that requires effort.
Satsang serves as a vital reminder to ensure we are not falling into false beliefs or spiritual concepts.
You can leave even the concern for stabilization to the Guru; it is not your problem.

This is a good point. So, she says that they need to stabilize, or she asks about stabilizing into this habit of not picking up the next thought. For a while, it might seem like that needs some effort. It might seem like that, but the recognition will come that actually this is the effortless and natural state, you see. It is the picking up which has been effortful, you see.
So, also don't go with this thought right now that you're free now. And that is the reason why we have Satsang Monday to Friday. Even if you can't be there in real time, you can watch the recording just to make sure that we are not falling into some false beliefs now, we are not buying some spiritual concept now. You made it really easy. Even though stabilization, you can leave it; not my problem.
