Ananta points to the unchanging Self that persists through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. He challenges the seeker to recognize their timeless nature, which transcends the transient body and the primal fear of dissolution.

✦

Waking up is recognizing you are that which remains even in the state of dreamless sleep.

To make division where there is none is the very root of attachment and resistance.

The fear of dissolution makes us run to concepts; stay in the nakedness of this open experience.
