Ananta exposes how the ego masquerades as a spiritual seeker who is 'scared' of identification. He guides the student to see that the one trying to avoid thoughts is itself just another subtle mental construct.

The ego is never there as such. Because I believe myself to be a cat doesn't make me a cat.

The mind takes that which is meant to attack the ego as a defense for the ego itself.

Is there one who is scared of thoughts? Does the one who has the power of belief have an owner?
