A student said, "How can anyone--however much he is spiritually self-realized--say that he has no ego? For without it how could he function in this world? It is the ego which tells the body what do do--raise a hand, walk, and so on." What he could properly say is that it has become a channel. But to avoid confusion it would be better to call this channel, "the individuality."
