Ananta clarifies that enlightenment is not a phenomenal experience to be chased, but the recognition of the Self that is already present. He encourages dropping the guilt of getting caught in thought, as the Self remains untouched.

✦

No experience is greater than the Self. Enlightenment is the recognition of the same.

Don't make yourself guilty or unworthy. Even if you get caught in thought, you are free.

Can you not be aware? That is the Self. It is not an object to be found.
