Ananta interprets the Ashtavakra Gita to guide seekers toward detachment by dissolving the ego's 'what's in it for me' mantra. He emphasizes moving beyond all opposites to rest in the natural perfection of the self.

✦

Leave the opposites behind; be content with what comes. This is the perfection of openness.

No pointing is the ultimate truth; it is just a thorn used to remove another thorn.

Renounce the works of the mind, not your life. Renounce the identity that is the source of suffering.
