“Realisation of love can never come so long as there is the least desire in the heart, or what Shri Ramakrishna used to say, attachment for Kâma-Kânchana (sense-pleasure and wealth). In the perfect realisation of love, even the consciousness of one's own body does not exist. Also, the supreme Jnana is to realise the oneness everywhere, to see one's own self as the Self in everything. That too cannot come so long as there is the least consciousness of the ego (Aham).” HeartLongDoeSelfBodyUsedDesireWealthPerfectPleasureConsciousnessEgoSupremeOnenessAttachmentRealisingRealisation Author:Swami Vivekananda

“When you are not the doer how can the attachment happen? You do a small thing and you become attached. You say, "I have done this." You would like everybody to know that you have done this and you have done that. This ego is the barrier for the supreme understanding. Drop the doer and let things happen. That's what Tilopa means by being loose and natural.” KnowsMeanDoneHappensUnderstandingNaturalEgoSupremeThings HappenBarriersAttachmentSmall ThingsDoers Author:Rajneesh
