Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 The ego is the idea that something else than you exists. Don't go too deep meditating on this if you want to hold your ideas about the world intact. Do you *really* want to be a Sage if this means that you will find yourself being the only one there is? That would be a big joke, wouldn't it? You think you say things to people and people respond, but in reality there is no one else than you there. There is a saying: " Those who speak does not know, and those who know does not speak. " Hmm... Why would those who know not speak? Why would they be so inconsiderate? One would think that a person who knows would be very eager to share this knowledge. Unless... " There is no one to be enlightened. " Ooops! :-) /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. *All* the identification with body/mind must be the ego. Meditate on this, I will. :-) /AL > > Nisargadatta , " anders_lindman " > <anders_lindman> wrote: > > The ego is the idea that something else than you exists. > > > > Don't go too deep meditating on this if you want to hold your ideas > > about the world intact.
