“When you awaken, the personal self has been destroyed” he said.
“All that has been completely annihilated” he said.
“No, not really” I thought.
The personal self is still there, only now you are clear that you are not it. It will fade away eventually, from disuse, if you don’t use it, but it is there. And why not?
There is no need to destroy it. There is never any need to destroy anything, to annihilate anything so long as you can see, clearly see, that you are not it.
As long as you see what you are, as long as you are what you are – there is never any need to exclude anything.
