Ananta emphasizes the direct path of self-inquiry, urging seekers to investigate whether the prisoner and the prison actually exist rather than performing spiritual 'push-ups' to improve a limited, non-existent ego.

✦

The direct path asks: Are you a prisoner, or is there even a prison at all?

Once you have the intuitive insight that you are not this limited one, what path is needed?

It is the easiest path because it is already what you are; there is no real bondage.
