Ananta emphasizes the importance of direct description over mental explanation, urging seekers to meet the present moment freshly without filtering experience through the lens of a personal story, past, or future.

✦

Explanation is full of interpretation and judgment; description is closer to what is phenomenally appearing.

The truth cannot be known in our heads; it can only be known intuitively in our hearts.

We struggle to fit the truth into our life, but that life is just a story in our heads.
