Prophet Muhammad (Qur’an)
“There is no god but Allah.” (47:19)
“Die before you die.”
— The ego-self must dissolve; only the One remains.
Moses
“Ehyeh asher ehyeh — I Am That I Am.” (Exodus 3:14)
— The true “I” is not the ego, but Being itself.
Jesus
“I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30)
“Whoever loses his self for my sake shall find it.” (Matthew 16:25)
— Losing ego reveals the true Self.
Rumi
“I searched for God and found myself.
I searched for myself and found God.”
— Ego hides, but when it dies, only Love remains.
Ramana Maharshi
“The ego is only a thought. Stop attending to it and it will vanish.”
“You are Awareness. Awareness is another name for You.”
— Ego disappears, the Self alone shines.
Papaji
“Keep quiet. In silence, there is no separation between you and God.”
— Ego dissolves in silence.
Krishnamurti
“Truth is a pathless land.”
— Ego is always seeking. Truth is seen only when the seeker is not.
Osho
“Be — don’t try to become.”
— Ego is always trying to “become.” In Being, ego has no ground.
Buddha
“All phenomena are without self (anatta).” (Dhammapada)
“In seeing, there is only the seen; no seer apart.”
"There is nothing but Allah.”
Muhammad: “La ilaha illa Allah” — There is no god but Allah.
Moses: “I Am That I Am.”
Jesus: “I and the Father are one.”
Rumi: “I searched for God and found myself.”
Ramana: “You are Awareness.”
Buddha: “All is without self.”
Krishnamurti: “Truth is a pathless land.”
Osho: “Be — don’t try to become.”
Papaji: “In silence, there is no separation.”
Different words, different melodies, but the same song.
All dissolve the ego, and what remains is the One / Being without a second.
