Ananta guides a student to recognize that suffering is a conceptual construct of the mind rather than a reality. He urges her to surrender the 'wanter' and the 'sufferer' entirely, remaining only as pure witnessing.

✦

Nobody has ever experienced suffering. You may experience pain, but suffering is something you work hard on conceptually.

Desire is the invitation to suffering. You want to have desire and not suffer also? That is impossible.

Surrender the one who can have a desire. Don't hold on to any 'I', any progress, or any state.
