Ananta guides seekers to dismantle the myth of the personal identity, likening the ego to a non-existent 'pink elephant.' He emphasizes that true understanding arises only when we drop mental concepts and recognize our prior existence as consciousness.

✦

The mind is like a lawyer representing a non-existent client; it convinces God that He is a person.

The completion of true understanding is the dropping of our mental understanding.

Don't be in a rush to know; 'I don't know' is more useful than a mental spiritual answer.
