Ananta explores the subtle distinction between awareness and attention, guiding seekers to see that while attention is a limited phenomenal force used for perceiving, the underlying awareness remains the infinite, untouched backdrop of all experience.

✦

Attention is like awareness playing in the phenomenal realm; it is directed and limited, whereas awareness is unchanging.

Phenomenal perceiving depends on the presence of attention, but awareness is independent of both.

When we bring attention back to its source, the distinction between the manifest and unmanifest begins to dissolve.
