Ananta guides seekers to recognize themselves as the non-phenomenal substratum of all experience. He emphasizes that the Self is beyond dualities like pleasure and pain, remaining untouched by the mind's conceptualizations and suffering.

✦

You are that in the presence of which all experiencing happens, unaffected by pleasure or pain.

The great soul witnesses his body's actions as if they were another's; how can praise or blame disturb him?

The Self is not empty like an empty room; it is the source of all, including supreme intelligence.
