Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Dear Karthik you <<the mind and the ego are one and the same. mind manifests as the ahamkara and chit. to realize one's self, mano nasa (destruction of mind) is the key. me The mind manifest due to the ego. Without the ego, the mind cannot survive. Rene Descartes, the French philosopher is famous for his conception of "I think, then i exist". To him, the mind, or the thinking process was the evidence of life, or of existence. But the real symtom of life is the consciousness. Consciousness is higher and more subtle than the intellect and the intellect is higher and more subtle than the mind. All this is described in the Bhagavad Gita. Sat-Chit-Ananda is a trinity. Sat is eternity, Cit is the consciousness and Ananda is the bliss. You confuse me, according to you, the self is the mind, then how can you realise yourself by destroying yourself? best wishes Natabara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
