Ananta explains that true knowledge is the recognition of one's own existence as the source of the entire universe. He emphasizes that the liberated soul transcends the personal 'me', abiding effortlessly as the unchanging self.

✦

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

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

Suffering is the resistance to what is; the primary desire is that what is should be something else.
