Ananta teaches that mental understanding of spiritual concepts is merely a pit stop that fails to end suffering. True realization is a conceptual-free knowingness that brings neutrality and openness rather than pride or intellectual certainty.

✦

Mental knowing is not the end of suffering; it is often just fresh conditioning.

True knowingness cannot be attacked; it brings neutrality instead of pride or humility.

Suffering pulls us out of intellectual pit stops by confirming 'not even this' is the truth.
