Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Question: The Ego, the sense of self, has been called an instrument, as well as, a doer ? How is this ego, an instrument or a doer ? Answer: In reality, the ego is the instrument, but the feeling of doership is something that we accept within us. " Kartaarhumiti manyate, " (Gita 3:27). Question: If this ego, the sense of self has been mistakenly accepted, then this mistake is in whom? Answer: It is in the one who accepts. It is in the one that has accepted the oneness with it. This error has been happening from time immemorable, however this cycle does end. Question: How can we remove the impressions on the mind, intellect and ego? Answer: Do not instigate and stir up the mind, intellect and ego. Do not look towards it. Look towards what " IS " . Do not even see towards wiping out that oneness with ego. Don't see anything, simply become silent, then naturally everything will be alright. The huge glaciers that are floating in the ocean, do not try to melt them, nor to keep them. This is called the state of inner silence (sahaj avasthaa). Question: Why does is appear so difficult to break off that sense of self, that ego? Answer: This ego, the sense of self appears to be difficult to wipe out due to desire for sense enjoyment from contact born pleasures. Simply speaking, this ego is held up and lasting due to desire to " continue to live and live in happiness and comforts " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
