MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 118
We are nationals of a psychic world, more properly than the way in which we belong to the physical world of social beings. Our psychic apparatus is a complicated structure, because it has connections with almost everything in the world.

Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
AHAMKARA OR EGOISM
Swami Sivananda
Swami Sivananda
The
original sprout of the painful Ahamkara with its tender stem of
rebirths ramifies itself everywhere with its long branches of 'mine'
(meum) and 'thine' (teum) and yields its unripe fruits of hell and all
sorts of pains, sufferings and sorrows. This tree of Ahamkara can be
destroyed to its root by Jnana (wisdom) fire only. The idea of I which
contains all frailties, is the seed of the tree of mind. The sprout
which is at first generated from this seed of Ahamkara, is termed Buddhi
or intellect. From this sprout the ramifying branches called Sankalpas
(thoughts) take their origin. Manas (mind), Chitta (subconscious mind)
and Buddhi (intellect) are but the different names or qualities of the
one Ahamkara.
This is the importance of direction. Misdirected energy, misdirected effort would achieve certain results, but not the desired result. It will not get you what you are looking for, what you want.You will get a lot of excavated earth and it will get you to some depth, but you will not gain the desired fruit. Something else might be had, but not what you are seeking for.
Swami Chidananda.
