First, realize the fact that you are the ego, therefore, you cannot get rid of the ego. The ego is the basis of the world in which you exist. People mistake pride for the ego but the ego is physical identity. That is you. You are the physical identity so you are the ego.
Without the ego, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The ego is the very basis of the universe. The universe ceases to exist without the ego.
Many seekers are venturing to get rid of the ego but they are unaware of the fact that by getting rid of the ego, the truth will not reveal, they have to get rid of ignorance, not the ego.
A perfect understanding of ‘what is what' is very much necessary to realize the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.
It is foolish to get rid of the ego alone because, the ego, body, and the world in which you exist appear together and disappear together.
The ego is the false self within the false experience. The ego is the product of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing duality as reality. Without the ego, one cannot perceive the world as a person because the person itself is the ego.
People mistake the ego and will vanish by being humble and loving to others but one cannot be humble and loving without the ego. The ego is the cause of ignorance, mistakes, and misunderstanding miscalculations.
The world in which you exist is an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. You are part of the illusion. therefore, your existence is bound to be an illusion.
Your individual experience of birth, life, and death is happening within the illusory universe or Maya. You are unaware of the fact that you are the illusory self within the illusory universe.
The illusory universe is dependent on the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Without knowing the Self is not you but the Self is the Soul. You are thinking you are the ‘Self’. This is a great error.
If you do not rectify this error of holding yourself as the Self, you are stuck with the erroneous idea of the ‘Self’ injected by the Gurus in the past.
If the Self is not ‘I’ but the Self is the Soul then from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self: ~
Where is the ‘I’?
Where is the ego?
Where is the body?
Where is the mind?
Where is the world in which you exist?
Where are the form, time, and space?
Where is the waking experience?
Where is the duality?
Where is void?
They are or have become one with the Soul which is present in the form of consciousness.
Consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.
Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma'- Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.
The ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present only when the world is present. The world is present only when there is a waking experience.
Deeper self-search reveals the fact that the waking experience is not considered different from the world. The world is not considered different from the mind. The mind is not considered different from the I’. This truth has to be assimilated.
The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. ‘I’ is not the subject. The ‘I’ is an object to the Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then three states, are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.
If the I’ is an illusion then the individual experience of birth, life, and death is bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.
If the ‘I’ is an illusion then the duality is bound to be an illusion.
The seeker has to make sure what is this ‘I’ supposed to be In actuality? The seeker has to make sure of the unreal nature of the ‘I’ which comes and goes to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ hides the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness. .
People think the ‘I’ without the body is the Self. The seeker has to understand the fact that ‘I’ is not the Self, but the witness of the ‘I’ is the true Self, which is eternal.
That is why Ashtavakra Gita 16:10:~ If you desire liberation, but you still say "I," If you feel the ‘Self’ is the ‘I’, You are not a wise man or a seeker. You are simply a man who suffers,
People are stuck with the reality of the ‘I’, which they take as real because some Gurus have propagated the Self is the ‘I’. is no need to convince such a mindset. The seeker of truth accepts only the truth nothing but the truth.
That is why Sage Sankara says: - VC-65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.
People refuse to accept anything other than their Guru's words. For them, their Guru's words are the ultimate truth. They do not accept anything else other than their accepted truth. There is no need to convince such a mindset.
Such a mindset is not fit to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. The seekers of truth accept only the truth nothing but the uncontradictable truth.: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
