Ananta explains that suffering arises only when pure energetic appearances are mixed with a limited egoic identity. He clarifies that while the end of suffering is a natural result of self-recognition, it should not become a goal for the seeker.

Suffering is not possible unless you accept some sensation with the notion of an individualized I.

Anger is a pure appearance; it only becomes resentment when mixed with egoic beliefs.

The notion that suffering must end can be hijacked by the ego to create more guilt.
