the Ego

[Guest guest]

~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~

 

 

Excerpted from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna p.148

 

Tuesday 13/6/00

 

The Master Said:

 

"If one analyses oneself, one doesn't find any such thing as 'I'.

Take an onion, for instance. First of all you peel off the red

outer skin; then you find thick white skins. Peel these

off one after the other, and you won't find anything inside.

In that state a man no longer finds the existance of his ego.

And who is there left to seek it?"

 

om tat sat

 

 

~~~~~~ om shanthi om~~~~~~

 

Extrait du Gospel de Sri Ramakrishna p.148

 

Mardi 13/6/00 Le Maître A indiqué:

 

"Si on s'analyse, on ne trouve pas une telle chose en

tant que 'le moi'. Prenez, par exemple, un oignon.

D'abord de tous, vous épluchez de la peau rouge externe;

et alors, vous trouverez les peaux blanches épaisses.

Épluchez l'un après l'autre, et vous ne trouverez rien à

l'intérieur. Dans cet état un homme ne trouve plus l'existance

de son 'le moi'. En outre, qui restent là pour le rechercher?"

 

om tat sat

 

 

~~~~~om shanthi om~~~~~~

Thanks for posting this. This is my favorite paragraph from the Gospel. If I

remember correctly, this was the reply given by the master when the younger

Naren asked whether we have free will.
