We Are Not Just Shifting Our Attributes - 20th November 2017
Saar (Essence)
Ananta guides seekers to investigate where the sense of 'I' lands, urging them to move beyond the false identification with the doer or the renunciate to find their true source.
We are not moving from one desire to another, but shifting the landing spot of the 'I'.
Ashtavakra says neither doing nor not-doing is your position.
See where the 'I' takes off from; is it sensations, empty space, or just thoughts?

So, we're not just shifting our attributes and not going from the world to non-dual desire to more desire. We are moving the landing spot for these attributes. The 'I' itself, the limited 'I' which considered itself either the doer, either the 'me' with the mind, or the 'me' who is a renunciate—neither. We are talking neither to accept more nor to renounce. Ashtavakra says neither doing nor not doing. No position.
When you refer to yourself as 'I', see that this 'I' takes off from... the taking off from some idea you have about, or the source of this 'I'. And when I say 'you', see where the 'you' is landing. You see? Where does it land? Does it land on the set of sensations which you say is 'me'? Does it land on empty space, dark empty void? Is that you? Are you just a visual? Are you some emotion? Are you all your thoughts about yourself? Where does it land?
