The Seemingly Unrelated Fragments of the Ego – 08.05.10

Student Comment: I have a question on the fragments of the ego. You said it develops from people imprinting on you, so you get little bits of this and that. So they’re all ultimately unrelated pieces trying to work together.

“Well, you relate them. You make up relations. You try to with whatever power of mind you have; you make up stories,” reveals Shunyamurti, the director of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. “And you take all those fragments and you make a narrative out of it; you string them all together. But the narrative is a fantasy.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, August 5, 2010.
