A wife and a husband! For infinite lifetimes this is all one has done. And in doing so, one has lost his Absolute Supreme Self [Parmatma]!
~ Dada Bhagwan
In all animals, egoism is in a seed-form. It bears effect as a tree in the human life form! If the egoism is destroyed, ‘one’ becomes the ‘Absolute Supreme Self’[parmatma]!
When egoism ends, that indeed is called the Absolute supreme Self (Parmatma). Egoism indeed is the illusion.
