Ananta points to the inherent neutrality of the Self, showing that one is already on the 'right side' of the road and never truly caught in the ephemeral traffic of the mind.

To transcend something means to see that you were never caught up in it to begin with.

The mind is like a shadow; it is already gone before you can even refer to it.

Neutrality is timeless, while all notions about yourself are merely fleeting appearances.
