Ananta explains that doership and personal identity are mental constructs sold by the mind through belief in thoughts. By recognizing that actions and sensations happen spontaneously within one's own vast space of awareness, the illusion of attachment dissolves.

✦

The mind sells the presumption that there is an entity here who wants, acts, or suffers.

Doership is completely false; the body moves, but there is no individual doer instructing it.

Don't believe your next thought; attachment only happens through belief in the story of separation.
