In the same context I feel Saint Kabir says "where I'm, the divine is not and where the divine is, I'm not" (In Hindi: जहां मैं हु, वहां हरि नहीं, जहां हरि है, वहां मै नहीं) The more closely I see myself, I see ego in the form of intense layers of beliefs, faith, culture, pattern
In the same context I feel Saint Kabir says "where I'm, the divine is not and where the divine is, I'm not" (In Hindi: जहां मैं हु, वहां हरि नहीं, जहां हरि है, वहां मै नहीं) The more closely I see myself, I see ego in the form of intense layers of beliefs, faith, culture, patterns, habits, pride, thoughts, divisions, anger, hatred, jealousy, etc... and I'm identifying myself with all of it, even the pride of belonging to Auroville is a form of ego is what I feel, but then, the more openely I watch all this, the more peaceful, light and original it feels. And that's how I see and feel, it is the journey from outward to inward, meeting layer by layer and the moment I see a layer, it's no more a layer and I'm going deeper unveiling the forms of ego... The moment I see my ignorance, I'm no more ignorant... But while all this is happening, there is a huge possibility that I simply imitate texts like these or some philosophy or spiritual teachers or one another or simply recite someone else's words and feel divine or spiritually superior, which is again another form of ego or illusion, just shifting from one form to another.. So, it's a constant & intense observation as to how honestly & openly I see myself and it cannot happen by blindly following something or someone but by openly seeing... So, a person who has stayed in a dark room for years reciting that there is a sun outside just because someone told him, is not his reality but mere recitation, whereas the same person when comes out and sees the sun, then he no more needs to recite, as he has seen the reality Likewise, one may constantly recite scriptures, Upanishads, Savitri, Kabir Doha, Quran, bible and so on and still be unaware about the self (hence, remaining ignorant) So am I actually seeing the way I'm or am I just imitating something consumed from others and considering myself to be divine merely talking about supramental, then that's still living in thoughts & not reality... Also, I don't deny any emotions or thoughts or movements happening within, nothing as good or bad but let them be, while I'm just observing... So, all that is and all that is not, from ignorance to self-knowledge _(Jyana/ Atman)_ and the journey is on... ❣️🙇🏻
