Ananta explores King Janaka’s quest for liberation, defining true knowledge as direct, non-conceptual awareness of existence and detachment as the natural result of seeing the illusory nature of the 'me'.

✦

True knowledge is the direct experience of truth, independent of any mental concept or label.

Detachment is not about renouncing the world, but about discovering that the 'me' who owns things is a fallacy.

As long as we operate from the sense of 'me', the mind will keep fueling attachments.
