egoless non-state

[Guest guest]

from Here Lies The Heart

Bhagavan (Ramana) was asked many times about his egoless state. He said:

 

The Gnani (the Enlightened) continually enjoys uninterrupted, transcendental

experience, keeping his inner attention always on the Source, in spite of the

apparent existence of the ego, which the ignorant imagine to be real.

 

This apparent ego is harmless; it is like the skeleton of a burnt rope

--though it has form, it is of no use to tie anything with.
