AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Gita mentions that sthitha pragnya as a being without निरहङ्कारः. Sri Aurobindo says that to be truly free of निरहङ्कारः, the nature has to be supramentalised otherwise the ‘I’ sense remains, though in a sublimated and divine way. So what is निरहङ्कारः according to the Gita🤔?

Nirahankar, निरहंकार, normoha,  निर्मोह, ahamshoonya, अहमशून्य, are closely allied states. Nirahankar is the absence of egoism which is very much possible by the practice of equanimity and desirelessness (nishkama karma). Nirmoha is absence of delusion and attachment which is the state of a Jivanmukta. Ahamshoonya or egolessness comes by the realization of the One Self in all. It means one is no more identified with the mind, life and body which then continue to act under past impulsion.  For the Supramental realisation, even the mind, life and body must be freed from the ego completely in the sense that losing their separativeness they must be one with the corresponding cosmic consciousness and open to the Transcendent Beyond. There is no more any personal mind, life and body.  

Affectioneatly,

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
