But which is the best way for me?

[Guest guest]

Dilip Kumar Roy read out another poem composed by him

on Bhagavan. Then he sang a few songs. Then he asked

Bhagavan,

"What is the best way of killing the ego ?"

 

Bhagavan:

To each person that way is the best which appears

easiest or appeals most. All the ways are equally good,

as they lead to the same goal , which is the merging

of the ego in the Self. What the bhakta calls surrender,

the man who does vichara calls jnana.

Both are trying only to take the ego back to the source

from which it sprang and make it merge there.

 

Roy :

But which is the best way for me?

Bhagavan must know.

 

Bhagavan did not reply. ( This is only usual with Bhagavan.

He leaves it to each devotee to find out what sadhana

appears most easy to him)
