Ego is the 'I'-thought

[Guest guest]

Ego is the 'I'-thought. In its sublte form it remains

a thought, whereas in its gross aspect it embraces

mind, senses and the body. They disappear in deep

sleep along with the ego, but still the Self remains.

It will be the same in death.

Ego is not an entity independent of the Self in order

that it might be created or destroyed by itself.

It functions as an instrument of the Self and

periodically ceases to function, i.e. it appears

and disappears as birth and death.
