. . . In Vedanta, 'ahamkara' means 'I am the doer' attitude.
Instead of saying 'I am doing it' say 'He is functioning thorugh me;
I am only a pencil in the hands of the Lord; He is the great poet; Using
me He is scribing the great poem of my life'. This should be your attitude,
that you are not the doer, but an instrument, a vehicle through which
the Lord expresses.
Ahamakara
is the feeling of 'I am the doer'. Whatever you do you enetertain such
a feeling. You also feel that since you are the doer you should get
the credit too. If you dont get the credit you become violent, you react
and feel miserable.
One
who does not feel that he is the doer, who feels that he has ben given
an opportunity to be used by the higher power--he is Anahamkarah--one
who is free from the doership notion. . .
