The same one who is now speaking was in deep sleep also. What is the difference between these two states? There are objects and play of senses now which were not in sleep. A new entity, the ego, has risen up in the meantime, it plays through the senses, sees the objects, confounds itself with the body and says that the Self is the ego. In reality, what was in deep sleep continues to exist now too. The Self is changeless. It is the ego that has come between. That which rises and sets is the ego; that which remains changeless is the Self.” -Sri Ramana Maharshi #selfrealization #oneness #UniverSoulWomenOfWisdom #consciousness #freedom #liberation #enlightenment #energy #god #awareness #divine #nonduality #oneness #awakening #wholeness #spiritualawakening #spirituality #Christ #buddha #meditation #enlightenment #innerpeace #quantum #energyhealing #energy #frequency #love #peace #compassion #awareness #instagram #facebook #life #coach
