Ananta describes the liberated soul as one who recognizes their own awareness as the source of the entire universe. He emphasizes that true freedom is the effortless dropping of all personal pretenses and desires.

✦

The knower of truth is never miserable, for the whole universe is filled with himself alone.

Rare is the great soul who desires neither enjoyment nor liberation.

Knowing self, mind empty and at peace, the sage lives happily seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating.
