Ananta teaches that any sense of being a 'something' is pride, suggesting that since total ego-dissolution is rare, the safest identity to adopt is that of a humble servant or beggar.

✦

To take yourself to be something, when in actuality there is no such me, is pride.

The safest refuge of an identity we can take is the foolish beggar servant.

This 'me' only brings trouble; all that is insightful and loving comes from God's grace.
