Ananta exposes the fallacy of the 'person' by using the metaphor of a cat seeking a bowl of milk. He invites seekers to stop trying to become a 'free person' and instead recognize that the person never existed.

✦

There is no freedom for the person because the person doesn't exist.

The only freedom there is is the freedom from the idea of being a cat.

Who is the witness of these thoughts? Is there anything personal about that one?
