Ananta explores the transition from identifying as a limited doer to abiding as the effortless witness. He emphasizes that the self is already present and requires no conceptual effort or mental grasping to be.

✦

You are not the thinker of your thoughts or the doer of your acts; the world runs effortlessly.

The mind is like a lawyer representing a client that doesn't exist.

Nothing to reject, nothing to accept; you are that which is present before any idea of self arises.
