'I am doing,' is ahamkar.. Whereas the baby of 'hum' has been created by him, how can it leave? 'Hum, hum, 'continues.
Questioner: Does that 'hum' ever go away; is there any solution for
it?
Dadashri: There is no solution for it. He will go to a lower life form and take continuous beating there.. That is where the 'hum' will be crushed.
When does 'hum' sprout? It starts when he becomes bankrupt everywhere. What then does he live on? Then comes this 'hum' of 'my Grandfather was so and so...' Then starts the 'hum' begins.
Hum— 'I am something great' is born when there is nothing there. Whereas the condition that gave rise to ego is still there. Now, when does the ego go down? It goes down when a thug mugs him and takes his clothes away, that is when his ego will go away.
Questioner: Is this discussion for those who are not Self-realized?
Dadashri: It is for the one who is not Self-realized. In Gnan, there is no ego. The ego does not leave in the one who has ego, the one who is not Selfrealised. Such a person will encounter those who will increase his ego. The ego decreasing events are the robbers who rob him and beat him up or when he incurs a loss of a million and half rupees when his income is only a million rupees.
Questioner: But then the ego will go in another corner, will it not?
Dadashri: No, it will go down; it will not increase. Ego and mamata, ‘myness’are naturally attained things; they are not created. This hum— 'I am something great' is a created thing.
Ego, pride and pride with ‘myness'
Questioner: What is the difference between ego ahamkar, pride maan and pride with 'myness'abhimaan?
