evil ego subjects
There must be a subject to know the good and evil. Thatsubject is the ego.
self ego mind
All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone, Realisation results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities. Qualities pertain to the mind only.
roots ego plant
The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.
light ego behinds
Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
self ego doubt
How does one get rid of fear? Ramana: What is fear? It is only a thought. If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear. Who sees things separate from the Self? First the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is nothing external. For anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. Seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. Not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
lying self ego
That is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness - the Self.
self ego perception
The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.
hate ego enemy
The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.
ego ifs
If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.
sea ego attention
By constantly keep one's attention on the Source, the ego is dissolved in that Source like a salt-doll in the sea.
ego source existence
The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises
yoga ego doubters
See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it; the other thoughts will die away - the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
ego source
The source of the ego is God.
sleep hands ego
...Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are always Bliss. This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful. Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss.
