Ananta explains that while attention naturally moves between objects, one can remain empty and untouched by detaching from egoic interest and the desire for personal outcomes.

✦

There is no perception independent of attention; only that which we attend to exists in our direct experience.

Be empty of interest; let attention move freely without seeking what is in it for you.

You remain untouched by the movement of attention when you stop identifying as an interested self.
