Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Everyone is already practising devotion to his own ego: he loves and surrenders to it. If, by enquiry and reflection, by art or meditation, he arrives at the discovery that the essential being of "I" is none other than "He," and penetrates it deeply and constantly until he becomes established in the new identity, his ego dissolves by itself. Thenceforward he fulfils his highest duty as a man.
