Ananta guides seekers to realize their true nature as the attribute-less witness, explaining that the self is 'invisible' to the mind and senses because it is the formless subject, not a perceivable object.

✦

The self is invisible because it has no attributes and cannot be perceived as an object.

Identification is impossible without concepts; the witness remains untouched by sensations unless a label is applied.

You have no duties or caste because you are the unattached, formless witness of all things.
