Ananta explains that appearances cannot harm our true nature; suffering only arises when we hold concepts or attachments about how things should be. He invites us to see that without these labels, no appearance can touch the Self.

No appearance can actually touch what we are; it can only hurt a concept we have about ourselves.

If you don't have a label about how something should be, the appearance is just appearing.

The idea of what a relationship should be like is what creates the difference in our suffering.
