Thank you Radhakutirji for your exposition. But doesnt the conviction "I am the Mind", or "I am the Ego" also create duality? I am referring to Western Scientists, who have risen above the body, but consider the mind to be the final frontier- anything that cannot be proved by the mind is false. And many people get stuck in the ego "there is no Sadhak like me, my Guru is the best etc". I think we wear more than one dark glass, with the result very few people can find Moksha in this life or many others.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In God or Self Consciousness there is pure non-dual Bliss otherwise known as SAT-CHID-ANANDA. Body consciouness is the mother of all ills. All duality begins from the conviction that, "I AM THE BODY". After that every thing becomes relational, i.e. relative to the body. There is no mind without the body and there is no ego without the mind. Hari OM radhakutir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
