Ananta highlights the Ashtavakra Gita's wisdom, urging the recognition of the self as pure awareness. He teaches that by dropping ownership and attachment to the changing phenomenal world, one realizes innate stillness and freedom from suffering.

✦

Only by detaching from the world does one joyfully realize the self; you are one awareness itself.

Existence, non-existence, and change are the nature of things; realizing this, serenity and bliss naturally follow.

From the creator to the last blade of grass, I alone exist; attainment has no meaning for the self.
