Dialogue Excerpts

Headless' Means Being Unconcerned With Meaning

Your Being is already effortlessly present - the mind will try to control and find meaning, but you can simply remain unconcerned with those interpretations and allow everything to come and go.

Don't waste this Gie from God

All tools to find God are already given; we waste this gift by postponing with 'tomorrow' instead of surrendering to God's Light now.

Is Being uncomfortable with Thoughts?

The true Being is never uncomfortable with passing thoughts; the feeling of someone being affected is just mind activity, and we can choose not to follow the mind's proposal that there is a problem to fix.

We Must Return to This Beginner’s Way

The only spiritual work is to remain empty of mind identification moment to moment, allowing God's light to shine rather than trying to figure out our obstacles.

Only believe the Story which is true about You

Stop asking the mind for answers about who you are—it knows nothing and only creates suffering; you are the witnessing Reality beyond all perceptions and nothing can hurt you there.

Shoot the SpoZer

The mind creates problems and the space for them; working on problems presumes a false self exists - true freedom is recognizing there is no kitchen at all.

Open and Empty: Attentive but Not Grasping

The mind's endless grasping to understand and control life is fundamentally hopeless; recognizing and dropping this effort reveals our already-free, trouble-less nature.

You Can Let It Play Only if You Can Trust That It Cannot Hurt You

Only when we trust that nothing can hurt our true nature - through surrender to the Master or through seeing the Self as beyond all phenomena - can we stop trying to overcome and simply let experience play.

‘You’ Have to Leave

The false 'me' that seeks clarity must dissolve for the clean mirror of Awareness to be seen, as the body-mind has nothing to do with true Freedom.

You Are Just In The Unborn, Now What Should Happen?

The Self is already obviously you - not something to find through attention or understanding, and the only obstacle is expecting it to be an object or to fulfill desires.

A Good Contemplation- What are we in this for?

True surrender means accepting everything as God's will because it is True, not because it fulfills our desires - even the desire for enlightenment must be surrendered.

A Non-Conceptual Answer Is an Answer

Truth is not found through answers but by resting in your own Self, discovering you were never separate from the destination.

All of Us Are Still Children

Adults are just children with bigger words—their resistance to life not going their way is the same child wanting candy, just now disguised as wanting Freedom; surrender means trusting the Divine like a child trusts a parent who 'knows better'.

Allow Yourself To Be in Intuition

True intuition emerges from inner stillness when we allow ourselves to be rather than constantly trying to figure things out through the mind.

Are You A Penguin?

Reality exists independent of all ideas - even the highest spiritual concepts are just proposals that cannot capture What Is, and our sense of being a limited self is merely imagined, not actual.

Your Belief in Maya Is Maya

Even rejecting the world as illusion is still playing within illusion; liberation comes from the awareness that sees through all beliefs, including spiritual ones.

How Do You Know Your Experience?

Rest as the unchanging witness of all appearances; don't identify with the screen's content - whether India, Ashram, or anywhere else - and recognize that what Is is already enough.

witness consciousnessnon-identificationawarenesscontentment

‘Aware of the PercepHon’ or ‘Witnessing the PercepHon’ are the same thing.

The awareing and witnessing are the same - anything with qualities (including the witness) is experience, and the mind cannot judge truth; when you don't believe thoughts, awareness is instantly clear.

Can It Become Bigger Than My Being

When we stop resisting fear and invite the mind's attacks to become bigger than our Being, they lose intensity because the "me" that fears has never truly existed.

Can You First Confirm That You Are Bound?

Don't start with the assumption you are bound; the Self is not found through perception or intellect - recognition is straightforward once you see both ways fail.

Cleaning up some Myths in Advaita

Abiding as the Self means not taking yourself to be anything at all, including 'nothing,' and understanding 'I am not the doer' is not about becoming a victim but recognizing you were never the doer in the first place.

CondiHoning Is All These CondiHons

Conditioning is the whole setup of body-mind identification; the direct path is to look at the sense of 'I am' itself, distinguishing existence from its content, to reveal the free witness awareness.

Confusion is the AZempt to find Truth in the Play of Opposites

Confusion is the attempt to find truth in contradictions; freedom is simply being without the need to seek or conclude, allowing all opposites to dance without taking any seriously.

Dawn of Duality

When we identify with limited perceptions rather than total existence, duality arises, followed by desire and doership, yet our natural state remains free awareness.

Do You Have To Be Convinced About Your Existence?

Your existence and Being are already apparent - stop trying to convince yourself with the mind and just notice what has always been here, as the Self never left.

Do You Want an Enlightened Version or Be Free?

Ananta challenges seekers to examine whether they want a spiritualized version of themselves or true freedom, revealing that even the desire for enlightenment contains the ego.

Consciousness can choose not to identify with the person; this absence of identification is the end of suffering, and we learn to trust our Being more than the interpretive mind.

True presence is empty of the mind's decision to exist or not exist—rest in the open awareness before choosing.

True freedom is not gaining something new but recognizing that the 'me' who wants solutions doesn't exist - Awareness itself is what Sages have always pointed to, unchanging and ever-present.

What Do You Find Without the Mind?

When the mind with all its searching and concepts quiets down, what is revealed is not a new experience but the obvious presence of pure awareness that has always been here, the silent witness that knows 'I am' without needing to think 'I am'.

You are Beyond Freedom and Iden#fica#on

Point directly to awareness itself, which is beyond intellectual understanding - when identified, simply remain open and empty rather than trying to fix or analyze the mind's stories.

You Are Even Beyond This God of the Waking State

You are the unscratchable awareness that witnesses even Being itself, beyond the Presence that appears in the waking state as its own divine ground.

You Can Only Be In Now

The Self cannot be experienced as a phenomenon or understood as a concept - it is simply the obvious 'I' that is aware of its own Being, and only our expectations of what it should do for the ego block its recognition.

You Do Not Have To Get Rid Of Anything

The ego's seeking is unnecessary because you are already Awareness itself - nothing needs to be fixed or gotten rid of.

Don't pick up the pen (thoughts/ideas); if you have, drop it - no acceptance or rejection needed, just remain neutral and let be.

Freedom is not in controlling attention or rejecting the body, but in refusing to identify with or believe any story the mind creates about whatever attention fixates on.

In Freedom, Everything Can Come, Everything Can Go

The Self is the ever-present Awareness known intuitively, not perceptually - it cannot be found, changed, or touched by any object or concept, and nothing needs to be done to be free.

Your Default State is Freedom

Your true nature is already free; liberation is not a achievement but the removal of the mistaken belief that you are bound.

If It Requires Resolution It Is Not the Truth

Truth requires no resolution because it already is - the very act of trying to resolve or find truth implies lack, which is illusion.

‘I’ Removes the ‘I’

Your true Self is the Awareness that perceives - it has no form yet is your most natural state; 'I' removes the limited 'I' and remains as the unconditioned Awareness you are.

If You Knew Who Lives In Your Heart You Could Not Trouble Yourself

Suffering is impossible when you recognize your true nature as pure Being; it only persists through mistaken identity and expectations about what that recognition should look like.
