With no self, there is nothing to fear, there is no calamity, no worry, no pain.
Self is a creation of the mind and is not from our soul. It is a collection of mental forms, labels, memories wrapped in fragile tissue paper in our mind, it’s what we falsely identify as ourselves.
It is a delicate thing easily injured or hurt and if we identify with our self, then we suffer the hurt and injury both mentally and physically.
It is self that causes suffering within and without. The collective suffering is the collective self.
The state of pure conscious being is free from self. Our essence is not driven by a story of ‘me’.
Our soul is hidden from us by identifying with self.
With no self comes liberation, freedom, life, joy, love and the power of creation and the universe.
