THE DISSOLUTION OF THE EGOIC TENDENCIES AND LIBERATION
As the fire burns the wood, similarly the inner
fire dissolves the egoic energies.
Again, as the antivirus in a PC destroys
the virus and clears the hard disk, the inner fire dissolves the egoic energies
and our mind becomes free from all these energies (pride, lasciviousness,
anger, etc.)..
We
dissolve the lower rajasotamasic ego (which is what causes identification with
the body, thoughts, pleasures, objects,, etc.) and its various
tendencies, by the aid of the sattvic ego and sattvic buddhi and finally the
sattvic ego dissolves by constant Self-enquiry (Vichara,) or meditation and
deep Samadhis.
There are various processes and paths to
achieve this. For me the yoga of synthesis is the best. However, each one has
their destiny and will find the way that is better for them.
Due to the dissolution of all egoic
tendencies (vasanas in sanskrit), which implies the dissolution of the ego itself and
the constant identification of the mind with its source (Consciousness) the
mind becomes pure and luminous and of the nature of Consciousness, and we can
enjoy the freedom, peace and bliss of our divine nature, effortlessly and
without a break.
This is liberation this is illumination or
enlightenment.
