Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Ego is " how " the formless consciousness " relates " to things! There is no " relationship " without an 'ego'! In order to " relate " to things the formless Consciousness 'identifies' itself as a 'form'... a 'thing'! However, there is no " harm " in this 'temporary' identification as long as the identifying Consciousness remains in TOUCH with its formless Reality and as long as it knows that this temporary identity is just the manifestation of its " love " ! Its love which also includes it love of play, of forms and the beauty of " relationships " ... which includes... god and devotee, lover and loved, mother and son, flower and bee, the sea and the beach, sun and the earth... The World of manifestation... As long it firmly knows that it is the One 'playing' and not the one being 'played'... as long as it knows as it abides in its reality and knows that it 'manifests' only because of it love... there is no problem! ... The problem occurs only when the Reality is forgotten and the " role " starts being " seen " as a'Bondage'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W: it is not possible to be in touch with formless reality without making a form out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
