A Gnani will not show off nor boast; he is a commoner, he never acts as an extra-ordinary one. Gnani does not want to think of the ego, therefore he does not do or say anything to make himself appear superior to others, or to pretend to know more than others. --FORMLESS PATH

  • Michael Islander "Gnani does not want to think of the ego," 

    Does the Gnani have need of avoidance of the ego? Where's the vulnerability?
  • Santthosh Kumaar for A Gnani- his ego, his body and his experience of the world are one in essence. That essence is consciousness.
