[QUOTE="Embers, post: 168854, member: 9385"] Ishna Ji, no need to apologise. I wasn't able to turn on the male icon beside the name earlier. I tried various times and just figured it out today, my profile reads "male" if viewed. I am considering to request my name is changed to help reduce this issue as it has been happening since I enrolled. I assume I may need to wait for the SPNadmin to return? :grinningkaur: Thanks a lot for the link and the explanation. This makes much more sense to me. Below is a quote from the Bhagavad Gita which is one reason I personally feel the ego does not die. I appreciate this is not Sikhi scripture, but hope no one minds it being quoted as it might add to the discussion: Here Lord Krishna informs Arjuna that his lower prakiri, or nature includes the ego-principle. So although it is subject to change and prakriti itself it is in fact a part of God (or God's prarkiri). The soul, in my opinion, can be known. It can be known as unchanging and it does not have any personality traits. Consequently it is intuitively known as that which pervades all and is unchanging and eternal. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji appears to point to this in my opinion: Page 1405, Line 5 ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਅਚਲੁ ਅਜੋਨੀ ਸੰਭਉ ਪੁਰਖੋਤਮੁ ਅਪਾਰ ਪਰੇ ॥ अबिनासी अचलु अजोनी स्मभउ पुरखोतमु अपार परे ॥ Abẖināsī acẖal ajonī sambẖa▫o purkẖoṯam apār pare. [B]The Eternal, Imperishable, Unmoving and Unchanging, Unborn, Self-Existent, Primal Being of the Soul, the Infinity of the Infinite,[/B] Bard Bala-y Page 862, Line 18 ਆਇ ਨ ਜਾਵੈ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਧਨੀ ॥ आइ न जावै निहचलु धनी ॥ Ā▫e na jāvai nihcẖal ḏẖanī. [B]The unchanging Lord does not come or go.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev Page 743, Line 7 ਜੀਵਤ ਮਰਤ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਥਾਉ ॥੨॥ जीवत मरत निहचलु पावहि थाउ ॥२॥ Jīvaṯ maraṯ nihcẖal pāvahi thā▫o. ||2|| [B]In life, and in death, you shall find your eternal, unchanging home.[/B] ||2|| Guru Arjan Dev Page 640, Line 6 ਕਰਨੀ ਸੁਣਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਜੀਵਿਆ ਭਾਈ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਥਾਉ ॥ करनी सुणि सुणि जीविआ भाई निहचलु पाइआ थाउ ॥ Karnī suṇ suṇ jīvi▫ā bẖā▫ī nihcẖal pā▫i▫ā thā▫o. [B]Listening with my ears, I hear and so I live, O Siblings of Destiny; I have obtained the unchanging, unmoving state.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev Page 272, Line 18 ਆਤਮ ਰਸੁ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਚੀਨਾ ॥ आतम रसु ब्रहम गिआनी चीना ॥ Āṯam ras barahm gi▫ānī cẖīnā. [B]The God-conscious being knows the nature of the soul.[/B] Guru Arjan Dev Page 342, Line 11 ਇਹੁ ਅਰੁ ਓਹੁ ਜਬ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਬ ਮਿਲਤ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੩੮॥ इहु अरु ओहु जब मिलै तब मिलत न जानै कोइ ॥३८॥ Ih ar oh jab milai ṯab milaṯ na jānai ko▫e. ||38|| [B]When this soul and that Lord are blended, then, having been blended, they cannot be known separately.[/B] ||38|| Devotee Kabir Page 468, Line 12 ਸਚੁ ਤਾਂ ਪਰੁ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਜਾ ਆਤਮ ਤੀਰਥਿ ਕਰੇ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥ सचु तां परु जाणीऐ जा आतम तीरथि करे निवासु ॥ Sacẖ ṯāʼn par jāṇī▫ai jā āṯam ṯirath kare nivās. [B]One knows the Truth only when he dwells in the sacred shrine of pilgrimage of his own soul.[/B] Guru Nanak Dev Sat Siri Akaal. [/QUOTE]
