Ananta explains that suffering persists only as long as a personal sense of self is maintained through subtle identification. He guides the seeker to see that even the desire for spiritual contentment is a trick of the ego.

✦

The appearance of suffering implies there is a misbelief; I am believing myself to be something I am not.

Openness and suffering are opposites; it is not possible for the hand to be open and closed simultaneously.

The mind is a trickster; even the spiritual demand for 'complete satisfaction' is the birth of the pretend 'I'.
