When the seeker truly loves truth more than comfort and preference, the path reveals itself with clarity and grace.

There comes a time somehow that you do not love your ideas so much. [Smile] Like you do not love the ideas so much, but you love the Truth more. But the Truth is just an idea then not that. [Smile] You are not so attached to your ideas and that is what is openness. And if you are open then what is being pointed is very, very, obvious. But you want to sneak in an idea of you along with this [Smile] then it can not work. It is like a metal detector. You keep going back and coming back in. And okay, this one, this one. You keep emptying all your pockets of every idea that you have. And what happen? So I am like a security guy then saying ‘but you have to throw this out.’ But Ananta, I thought this was allowed no? [Smiles] Isn’t this a fair enough idea just to have? No, no, no. But this one is helping me. [Smiles] tielping who? [Smiles] But of course it is not my feeling or I do not feel like it is the best way to try and snatch these ideas from you. I just have to keep reminding you. And you are the ones who have to say ‘okay, gone, gone.’
