The sense of duality arises when the Aham ('I') assumes a specific form and

name. Ahamkara (the ego-sense) is the result of this change in form. It is only

when one dissociates himself from name and form that one can discover one's true

divine self. To forget one's essential divinity and identify oneself with a

changing and impermanent form is the cause of bondage and sorrow. It is the

mind that is the cause of this wrongful identification, because of its

involvement with the external world and the impressions received through the

senses. When the workings of the mind are understood, the reality of the Atma,

which is beyond the mind, will be experienced as the one omnipresent, immutable

principle.- Baba
