Ananta teaches that suffering ends when we stop believing the next thought. He emphasizes that our natural state is peace and joy, which requires no mental interpretation or happy thoughts to be experienced.

✦

The end of suffering is this simple: you cannot suffer without believing the thought.

Happiness is our natural state; we don't even need happy thoughts to be happy.

We don't need the participation of our mind to truly experience any situation in life.
