Ramesh Balsekar Sayings and Words The thinking mind, the ego, the "me" are all the same. They are different names for the same thing, which is an illusion. It is the nature of the monkey-mind to jump about and chatter. Ego is the thinking mind. Mind is merely a collection of thoughts, or a collection of impressions which makes up this "me", this self image. The ego is the identified consciousness. When the impersonal Consciousness identifies itself with the personal organism, the ego arises. Identification with the body is so total that it gives one a sense of separate identity. Now, the separate identity is merely a concept, a concept based on the individual body appearing solid. All there is consciousness. That is the Source from which the manifestation has come. The only truth is I AM - I Exist. That is the only truth. Everything else is a concept. Rebirth is a concept. Your karma is a concept. What is seeking? Seeking is "you" wanting to know God. Consciousness is the only Reality. Seekers continue to practice all kinds of self-torture without realizing that such 'spiritual practice' is a reinforcement of the very ego that prevents them from their natural, free state. Enlightenment is total emptiness of mind. There is nothing you can do to get it. Any effort you make can only be an obstruction to it. The same Consciousness prevails at rest as the Absolute and in motion as duality. When the sense of "me" disappears completely, duality vanishes in ecstasy.
