There seem to be two type of searchers;those who seek to make their ego something other than it is,i.e. holy,happy,unselfish{ as though you could make a fish unfish },and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulations and play-acting,that there is only one thing that can be done,which is to disidentify themselves with the ego,by realising its unreality,and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being.
