The Thread of the Self

“Unlike the ego, which comes and goes, inflating or deflating according to its position in relationship to other egos, the Self never moves. It is the part of us that never changes. Everything else in our life changes and shifts. Our bodies grow and age. We put on weight and lose it. Our circumstances change. And, of course our personalities are subject to strange shifts and discontinuities. But through it all. the thread of the Self remains constant.”

Swami Durgananda
