Ananta suggests using self-inquiry to dissolve 'sticky' thoughts and egoic attachments. He encourages a gentle but persistent looking into one's true nature, rather than blindly following the mind's tempting but deceptive offers.

✦

Take the sticky identities into your inquiry until they lose their magnetism and pull.

Don't buy what the thoughts are selling; be compassionate to the con artist without falling for the trick.

Self-inquiry can become so natural that you won't even need to use the question 'Who am I?'
