Ok dear jitinder before we go further please tell me which shloka of

Gita tells that Krishna is saying that we are made of Buddhi, Ahenkar,

jeevatama. After studying that shloka i can proceed further.

 

Ego is a wrong word... actually English is a poor language

spiritually... so we better use our own words.

 

Aum

Chapter 7 shloka 4 =Bhumirapo...ahanda..prakriradhya .. Earth water

fire, air, ether, mind, spiritual intelligence and false ego; thus

these are the eightfold divisions of my external energy.

 

Shloka 5:- O mighty armed one, this external energy is inferior, but

superior to this, you should know another, my marginal energy

comprising the embodied souls of all living beings by which this

material world is utilised.

 

Jitinderji, shri krishna used here the word " False ego " which is

not ahankar (or aham). if you remeber, some weeks before i wrote a

post on " I " and " i " .. the false ego is the personality ego which our

mind makes during our birth time, and this false ego is lost after

death.

 

The real Aham is a spark of the divine encirced by Ahankar made of

Tamo guna. This ahankar alongwith Chitta is called the Antaratama or

the individual soul and this individual soul remains intact births

after births..

 

It is this individual soul that frees itself after Moksha, the

tiny spark encircled by aham, is set free and merges into the divine

light.

 

It is like if you have a cup and you keep a card board piece over

its mouth, the air inside the cup is cut from the external air, and

takes shape of the cup...when we remove the cardboard the air becomes

the part of the external air and no more thinks herself as shape of

the cup.

 

The air can be equated to the Soul... the cardboard Aham and the

air inside the cup cut by cardboard and cup.. is Jivatama.

 

AUM

GREAT ANSWER SIR JI ,simply great for me may be simple for you

 

my confusion was not with the false ego , because i was thinking that

ego is false/destructive only , but i was not knowing about the tiny

spark characteristics . that is why i was confused with the word ego .

thanks Sir ji you have explained beautifully . and i have cleared so

many confusions .

 

but Sir ji there is no end

 

Hence please tell me

 

what characteristics are associated with tiny spark eg does this tiny

spark have sat ,raj , tamo gunas or how does it is influenced by the

gunas .

 

 

HARE KRISHNA ,HARE KRISHNA ,KRISHNA KRISHNA ,HARE HARE,HARE RAMA ,HARE

RAMA ,RAMA RAMA ,.HARE HARE
