Ananta explains that a sage remains untouched by the spontaneous rise of emotions, as they lack the personal doership and identity that transform fleeting feelings into long-term resentment or guilt.

The appearance of the outer Guru is a reflection of our own inner presence.

Anger can arise, but for a sage, it does not become resentment or a grievance.

Without doership, even a sage's anger is an expression of their love and grace.
