Egoism is born & egoism passes away, not the body; and it is egoism that gets liberated, not the soul. In principle, the soul by its very nature of infinite bliss with other infinite attributes is independent and free. For every individual soul, it was so and it will be so perpetually upon liberation from egoism and karmic bonded state of migration.

In essence, what is still “bound” after we get realization of “Pure Soul” is the relative EGO that remains.
We have been given realization of “Pure Soul” so we are no longer “bound”… but liberated.
What remains to be “liberated” or “purified” is the relative ego that is continuously discharging through the mind-speech-body of the relative self. Hence, we have been given two VIEWPOINTS from which to “VIEW” as observer-knower-seer, the relative viewpoint and the real viewpoint! That is the first two divine precepts given by DADA BHAGAVAN in all His grace. So, as long as “we” are in the seat of Pure Soul, our relative ego continues getting purified and exhausted because “we” are knowing-seeing it as it exhausts itself.
Please forgive for any misunderstandings. Jai Sat Chit Anand to ALL!
It is a sheer anubhav vani of pp dadaji on ego,out of his experience of this divine sutra………hence,this can be best felt when one also goes through similar anubhav….. However as a person who is yet to experience this anubhav, my novice view on this sutra is that ego must be fully understood in its full perspective, and when understood properly,all it’s issues will fall in harmony with life, and it will become a friendly fiction, to be used very intelligently.,,,, if done so,it may also surprisingly become a great asset towards mokshamarg…….god gives nothing without a purpose, and ego is also one of the giving of god…….
