The body is insentient; the self does not rise. within the body’s limit, an ‘I’ rises between the body and self. It is named ‘ego’, ‘knot of matter and spirit’ , ‘bondage’, ‘subtle body and ‘mind’.; Maharishi Ramana.
Comments; These words are not from an ordinary person; the words of Maharishi come from “Samadhi’. Maharishi lived in eternal bliss every time. it is the state of self-realization. mostly he lived in silence. but sometimes, for the people who reached there and asked some questions then, he used to speak a few words for their spiritual growth. so, as I understand these words. Our body works with the light of self. Otherwise, it is “jade ( insentient). As an electric fan can not work without electric current likewise our body takes conscience from self or “Ataman” and can do its functions. As yogis said that “I’ which is called “ego’ rises between the body and self which is called a ‘knot of matter and spirit.’ this is mind,subtle body or Jiva.
