Ananta explores how existence is a boundless space where perceptions arise naturally. He distinguishes between attention, which illuminates objects, and belief, which attaches to mental interpretations, creating the false sense of a limited, desiring 'I'.

In our natural state, the one with preferences and ideas is simply not there.
