Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “There is another point to be considered. This 'I' (ego) is being 'seen' by you as you see- say for example- a tree or hill. That which is 'seen' cannot be the 'seer' (we understood this in the initial lessons). One more point needs to be taken into account. This 'I' experiences pain and pleasure. The ego feels-- 'I am happy' when there is pleasure and 'I am unhappy' when there is pain. Pain and pleasure are the tendencies of samsaara (mundane life). Can this 'I' (ego), which experiences the mundane pains and pleasures be called the ultimate 'I' ?"
