Ananta explores the ultimate Vedantic insight that the world is a mere appearance, like a snake superimposed on a rope. He concludes that from the perspective of unchanging awareness, nothing has ever truly happened or emanated.

✦

The appearance is just an appearance; nothing actually emerges. Once you see the rope, there is no snake.

Awareness is true and everything else is just an appearance, like the illusion of silver in a mother-of-pearl.

On the definition that the unchanging alone is real, even existence itself does not stand the test.
