Ananta explores the nature of attention as a finite, phenomenal tool used by Being to taste the world. He distinguishes it from Awareness, noting that while attention focuses on objects, the ultimate Self remains prior to even this quality.

✦

Attention is the intimate phenomenal play of awareness, but unlike awareness, attention can run out.

In the realm of the pure Self, there is not even attention; it is the cessation of its functioning.

Being uses attention to come to the discovery 'I am that I am', but the Absolute is empty of all qualities.
