Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Hello everyone MAharshi once said this" The fact of the ego rising from the Self and forgetting it, is birth. So, it may be said that the birth of the individual has killed the mother. The present desire to regain one's mother is in reality the desire to regain the Self, which is the same as realising one-self, or the death of the ego; this is surrender unto the mother, so she may live eternally. " I did not understand the essence of this could anyone elaborare thank u sunil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to ignorance, the Self is being overlooked and the ego is given too much recognition.
