identity is not lost
|
Foolish mental speculators think that after liberation one's identity is lost, but that is not so. The living entities are factually beyond this covered inferior energy. The living entities have their pure spiritual existence, and their pure identity, and they have their pure mental activities. And all of them are beyond the manifestation of this cosmic world. The living entity, his mind, his intelligence, and his identity are beyond the range of this material world, but when he enters into this material world by his desire to lord it over matter, then his original mind, intelligence, and body become covered by the material energy. When he is again uncovered from these material or inferior energies, he is called liberated. And when he is liberated he has no false ego, but his real ego comes again into existence.
