The ego creates the illusion of separateness from "summary" of Be As You Are by Sri Ramana Maharshi
The ego creates the illusion of separateness. It makes us believe that we are distinct individuals, separate from the world and from each other. This illusion is what causes suffering and conflict in our lives. When we identify with the ego, we see ourselves as separate from others, leading to feelings of competition, jealousy, and fear. In reality, we are all connected, part of the same universal consciousness. This sense of separateness is only a trick of the mind, a false perception created by the ego. When we let go of this illusion, we can experience the true oneness that underlies all of existence. We can see that we are not separate from others, but rather interconnected in a vast web of being. The ego thrives on division and separation, creating barriers between ourselves and others. It reinforces the idea of "me" versus "you," "us" versus "them." This sense of separateness breeds conflict and discord, leading to suffering and discontent. When we see through the illusion of the ego, we can transcend these divisions and experience the unity that lies at the heart of all existence. By letting go of the ego's illusion of separateness, we can cultivate a sense of oneness with all of creation. We can recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and the unity of the universe. This realization brings about a profound sense of peace and harmony, free from the strife and discord created by the ego's illusions. When we see through the ego's illusion of separateness, we can live in alignment with our true nature as beings of pure consciousness. We can transcend the limitations of the ego and experience the boundless freedom that comes from realizing our essential unity with all of existence.
