The Self is not you because you are the ego. Without the ego, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist.+

The Self is not you because you are the ego. Without the ego, you and the world in which you exist cease to exist.

The Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The Soul, the Self is nothing to do with you and the world in which you exist because you and the world in which you exist is nothing but dualistic illusion or Maya.

The dualistic illusion or Maya hides the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The Soul the Self is verily one and without parts, whereas the body consists of many parts; and yet the people due to ignorance see (confound) these two as one.

The Soul the Self is unborn eternal since it is Existence itself; the universe is transient, as it is nonexistence in essence.

It is impossible to eliminate the ego. You cannot go beyond the ego because you are the ego. The ego is the very basis of the world in which you exist. It is impossible to eliminate the ego.

Remember: ~

People talk of getting rid of the ego but it is impossible to get rid of the ego. The ego is the very basis of form, time, and space. Without the ego, form, time and space cease to exist. Without the form, time, and space the world in which we exist ceases to exist.

Thus, a perfect understanding of ‘what is what' is required to get rid of ignorance. Without getting rid of the ignorance the form, time, and space prevail as a reality.

One has to get rid of ignorance, not the ego because the ego is the product of ignorance.

Just by saying let there be ‘oneness’ the diversity will not vanish. Without the Advaitic wisdom, ignorance will not vanish. Without getting rid of ignorance, the dualistic illusion (the world in which you exist) prevails as a reality.

Trying to get rid of the ‘ego’ is like trying to get mangoes from a coconut tree. The truth is not imagination. Ornamental words may give satisfaction to a certain mindset but it blocks one from realizing the ‘Self’ hidden by ignorance.

The ultimate truth is the fullness of consciousness. There is nothing apart from consciousness, because, the whole universe is nothing but consciousness. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
