Ananta explains that liberation arises from the synergy of direct self-recognition and the subsequent dropping of conditioning. He emphasizes that true detachment is rarely possible without first recognizing the underlying truth of the Self.

Liberation is the combination of direct self-recognition and the letting go of all attachments.
