BRAHMMAM AND EGOID

To destroy the Mind just because it is unreal, false and citing the ‘Rajju Sarpa Bedham’, i.e. imagining a rope to be a snake, etc are all rotten clichés! Truth and Falsity are complementary. A rope can take life as the snake and therefore cause the same fear to a weak Mind which is corrupted by mere philosophising and confused as a result of it.
Athma Vichara culminates into Athma Samarpana. If the Supreme Gnana could be attainable by Athma Vichara alone, what is the necessity of Athma Samarpana?”
The Id that is the Ego which as a whole is the EGOID is the Spent Energy of Brahma. It cannot be destroyed or produced similar to the Law of Conservation of Energy, viz., “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; one form of Energy can be changed into another but the total Energy remains constant at all point of time.”
If we want to submit the Ego to God, i.e. to do Athma Samarpana, first we must accumulate the weak minuscules of the Ego into a potent one by the process of refinement and perfection which is done by Athma Vichara, and take the final course of Athma Samarpana successfully.
The axiom of indestructibility of Ego is: “Ego can never be created nor destroyed; it can only be shrinked or expanded.”
The course of the Spent Energy of Brahma is to rejuvenate and recharge itself to be able to refine and perfect by the process of life, work and time until it is transformed into the Absolute Brahma Shakthi.
Brahma’s perspiration is the Ego and Ego’s perspiration is the Brahma. They are connected by this eternal equation. Why is it that Brahma exerts by spending his energy? We all work to tend to equilibrium, to maintain harmony, and likewise, Brahma uses the inconsistent energies that accumulate within his enterprise, by spending it to build the cosmos, by expansion and contraction simultaneously causing reverberations resulting in a state of taut. The Infinitesimal Ego interacts with the Infinite Brahma by the triad, living life, doing work and passing time, and this phenomena animates everywhere in the Universe for good!
Athma Vichara is completed when the Vichari learns that the Ego cannot be destroyed and as a result of that wisdom, the Vichari tames the Ego to finally transform into the Absolute Brahmmam and this is done by Athma Samarpanam. Athma Vichara matures into Athma Samarpanam! Ego is the relentless master and true guru who is notoriously misunderstood like Brahma but by its tasks for refinements and perfections, it is destined to succeed in reaping the benefits of its transformation into the Absolute Brahmmam!
Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi concludes in Upadesa Undhiyar:
“பந்தவீடற்ற பரசுக முற்றவாறு
இந்தநிலை நிற்றல் உந்தீபற
இறைபணி நிற்றலாம் உந்தீபற”.
The taut state of Brahma is “பந்தவீடற்ற பரசுகம்” and “இறைபணி நிற்றல்” is the divine work imposed on Ego to transform into the ultimate Brahmmam!
Hence we summarise with the following new triplet:
“அழியா அகமே ஆகுமே
சித்தம் நிலை நிற்றுந்தீபற
பரம்பொரு ளாகவே யுந்தீபற”.
