Ananta explores the Ashtavakra Gita's tests of self-realization, questioning why one who knows their indestructible nature would still succumb to desire, ownership, or the fear of death. He urges staying empty of all conceptual positions.

✦

Strange that one who can discriminate between the transient and the timeless should yet fear the dissolution of the body.

Prior to the concept about yourself, what is it that you are?
