Ananta teaches that self-realization is the recognition of what one has always been, rather than finding a new phenomenal object. He emphasizes that true seeing dissolves the sense of specialness and the illusion of a separate personal 'I'.

✦

At the core of realization, it is seen that I have always only been this.

You will not find the self as if it is a thing, an entity, or an object.

Abide in awareness with no illusion of person; you will be instantly free and at peace.
