Ananta explains that suffering persists because consciousness is not yet finished with the taste of individuality. He suggests that the ego constantly attempts to duplicate the attributes of God through personal achievements and meaning.

✦

We buy tickets to the merry-go-round of suffering because we aren't done with the taste of individuality.

The ego tries to take the attributes of consciousness and duplicate them in the personal realm.

We believe that with time we will make something meaningful, yet we only end up feeling giddy.
