Thus Spake Ramana

[Guest guest]

" Ego is not an entity independent

of the Self in order that it must be

created or destroyed by itself.

It functions as an instrument of

the Self and periodically ceases

to function. That is to say it

appears and disappears; this

might be considered to be

birth and death. "
