Ananta teaches that by dropping belief in the mind's 'what's in it for me' mantra, attention naturally rests in the self. He clarifies that the self is known through pure awareness rather than phenomenal perception.

The self is not a phenomenal perception; it is the knowingness itself, prior to any sensory experience.
When you stop believing the mind's chatter, attention becomes natural and you never feel you've left the self.
Self-realization is the recognition of what has always been, not the discovery of a new, external object.
