Ananta guides seekers to recognize their non-phenomenal reality as the essence of creation. He emphasizes that suffering arises from resisting change, whereas self-realization reveals the world as an inseparable appearance within one's own infinite being.

✦

I am the essence of creation; this i-am-ness is the source and cannot be removed from the world.

It is this resistance to what is that is the ego. You cannot be open and suffer simultaneously.

You are the 'full nothing'—the primal knowingness from which God and the entire universe emanate as mere aspects.
