Ananta teaches that self-inquiry and openness serve to bypass the mind's tendency to intellectualize spirituality. He encourages resting as 'nothing' to transition from mental dependency to the intuitive self-knowledge of the heart.

Inquiry is like throwing a grenade into the mind to break the mask of being open and empty.

If you have an interpretation, it is a misinterpretation. Truth is not definable by the intellect.

Moving from head to heart involves withdrawal symptoms, like fasting from the mind to find true inner reserves.
