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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
