Ananta explains that while the body is a beautiful instrument to be cared for, our true identity is the eternal, unborn awareness. He describes the world as a divine play born from a thirst for experience.

The body is a beautiful instrument, but the only mistake is to say 'I am the body.'

Something intuitively knows we are eternal; the idea that we will cease to exist is hard to swallow.

Bondage is not real; it is only the power of belief in thoughts that creates the seeming of being bound.
