Ananta identifies the mind as the primary addiction of consciousness, explaining that Advaita helps by encouraging a state of neutrality and 'not knowing' that transcends all conceptual positions and mental conditioning.

✦

The primary addiction common to all of humanity is the addiction to our thoughts and the mind.

Satsang is a rehab for God, where consciousness recovers from the addiction to its own creation, the mind.

Openness and not knowing are worse than death for the mind, which fights to give you concepts to hold.
