Ananta teaches that instead of struggling to eliminate desires or purify the mind, one should simply realize their true nature as the unchanging witness that exists beyond all temporary phenomena.

I have one medicine for all ills: let's find out who you are.
Let the mind and world be as they are; you are that which is beyond.
All suffering relies on a limited identity.

So one has to be free of both want and not. One sees that there is no one here that wants and doesn't.

Seeker

Now I am... I don't want to see yes unreservedly to what you said because I know the nature of the mind will pick it up. And getting rid of the wants itself has been so difficult, and now real here... but now you must be rid of the non-want.

Ananta

So this... so I don't want to give you that project. Like I was saying the other day, I have one pill, one medicine for all ills, which is: let's find out who we are. Who are you? This will get rid of desire, aversion, even suffering, because all of those rely on limited identity. As you are seeing all of this is not true because I am not that, then you don't have to work on these aspects specifically. I've seen many in traditional paths who could get stuck in wanting to free themselves of their desires, wanting to make the mind pure. Let the movie be, let the mind be with the mind, let everything be as it is. Let the world be as it is, the body be as it is, let the mind be as it is, let emotions be as it is. You are that which is beyond all of those, you are the unchanging.
