Ananta explains that while we are always awareness, we must stop adopting the pretense of personhood. By refusing to engage with the next thought, one remains in their natural state of freedom and peace.

✦

You are free right now unless you pick up the pretense of personhood by believing your next thought.

Show me how you are suffering without buying your next thought.

We need nothing for natural happiness, but we need something to be unhappy.
