When The Head Of A Goat Is Severed From Its Body, The Trunk Struggles For Some Time, Still Showing Signs Of Life. Similarly, Though Ahamkara (egotism) Is Slain In The Perfect Man, Yet Enough Of Its Vitality Is Left To Make Him Carry On The Functions Of Physical Life; But It Is Not Sufficient To Bind Him Again Into The World.

The Waves Belong To The Ganges, Not The Ganges To The Waves. A Man Cannot Realize God Unless He Gets Rid Of All Such Egotistic Ideas As "i Am Such An Important Man" Or "i Am So And So". Level The Mound Of "i" To The Ground By Dissolving It With Tears Of Devotion.
