Ananta explores the Ashtavakra Gita to describe the 'true knower' who abides in the Self. He emphasizes a state of effortless being where one transcends the desires for both worldly pleasure and liberation.

✦

Rare is the great soul who desires neither enjoyment nor liberation.

The sage is not conflicted by states of stillness and thought; his mind is empty.

Though he may perform actions, the man of knowledge does not act, free of 'I' and 'mine'.
