GuruSwamiG:Ego is that which you perceive yourself to be. Such as body, emotions, thoughts, etc. You are living your illusions of what is true through the conditions and conditionings of life. Enlightenment or Realization occurs when you drop all ideations that “I am this” or “I am that”… when you go beyond the transient world and see the Eternal Formless Constant, That which holds all yet grasps nothing. When one rests within the Constant, only then will one truly understand the transient world or Maya (that which creates and perpetuates illusion). Then you will KNOW that this is just a waking Dream State, and there is no bondage nor is there freedom for these are states that are created by mind alone. Enlightenment or Realization is when you go beyond ego, mind and rationalizations etc etc., when you reach the Heart and the Essence of Being. For ONLY then do you truly live the life of unbound Bliss and Truth and Awareness which is Consciousness beyond mind.
