53. The ego of a devotee is harmless. It is Sattvic. It helps to

develop to realise God.

54. The more you annihilate the Ahamkara or egoism, the more will the

Brahmic principle dawn in you.

55. The offering of ego in the fire of wisdom is the greatest form of

sacrifice.

56. When this little 'I' or ego is traced down to its source, viz.,

the Atman, it will disappear. It will be absorbed in the Atman, like

the water in a hot frying pan.

57. The source of egoism or this little 'I' is the Atman or the

Supreme Self. Meditate on the Atman. It will be absorbed in the

Atman. The little 'I' will vanish. Atman alone will shine in all its

glory.

58. When the ego is non-existent, it is liberation; when the ego

persists, it is bondage.

59. When the mind is attached to the objects, it is bondage; when the

mind is not attached to any object, it is liberation.

60. When the mind desires anything, grieves for anything, rejets

anything and accepts anything, gets pleased with one and angry with

another, it is the state of bondage.

61. When the mind desires nothing, grieves for nothing, rejects

nothing, accepts nothing, gets pleased or angry with none, it has

attained liberation.

62. Absolute consciousness or Self-awareness destroyes the ego and

bestows the final emancipation.
