Ego is an
object to be known (gneya). You
are the Knower (gnata). Where there is a relationship between the Knower
and the known, the known should not be protected. If you protect one gneya
(ego), then you have to protect all others, and they are endless. From now
on you have to practice invisible penance. You have to maintain awareness
that you do not become engulfed, become swept with the ego. That awareness
is invisible penance. This kind of penance has to be done because from
time immemorial you have acquired a habit of identifying yourselves with
the known, the gneyas. As you observe this penance, these habits will become
weaker and so will the ego and consequently the puzzle gets solved. Once
you resolve to observe this penance, it will continue on its own.
