Ananta exposes the ego's survival through the twin pillars of desire and doership, urging seekers to investigate the non-existent "me" that constantly asks "what's in it for me?" and "what should I do?"

When the presumption of an individual 'me' is questioned, the impulse to cater to it finally lightens.
