Ananta emphasizes that our natural state is effortless consciousness, pointing out that a living master serves as a mirror to one's own heart, guiding the seeker to drop the burdensome, invented identity of the sufferer.

✦

To refer to yourself as 'me' you need a thought; to remain as consciousness, no conditions are needed.

The master is a representation of how natural it is to just be, pointing to your own heart.

Suffering is the invention of a limited 'me' filled with grievances, resentment, and specialness.
