Ananta emphasizes that reality and the supreme intelligence running the world do not require our conceptual beliefs to exist. He points out that all confusion stems from false ideas about the 'I'.

Reality does not need your belief; only a concept needs your belief.
There is a supreme intelligence already running this world without our belief systems.
All confusion is only confusion about 'I'.

As I read that, I represent reality. What I'll be representing is that: Does Truth need belief? Only a concept needs your belief, dear. No Truth needs belief. I have to do this often, isn't it? Can you believe this glass? You only believe a concept about it. You can believe the label of glass is glass, but the glass also just is. Whatever is, is. So the Truth does not need your belief.

Ananta

I don't need to believe a coconut is a coconut to drink from it; it's already perceived. A child knows how to drink from the milk bottle. Does it have a concept, 'Oh, that has milk in it, so I drink from this'? Other than saying instinct, we can say there is a supreme intelligence already which is running this world. We have relied on our belief system for too long to try and pretend to run our life. What is the source of all of this? That must be Brahman. God does not need any belief, anything, to run this life. That's why I said all confusion is only confusion about 'I'. Once you see that consciousness is just an aspect of you, or you see this just by remaining in the 'I don't know'...
