Dropping like a leaf...

The ego can hide anywhere and hides well within the Spiritual Path.. but to say that You are Enlightened merely means that You have seen past the illusion and seen Reality.. this appears as ego because the ego of the listener is angered that the veil of deceit is being lifted and it too may eventually be dissolved.. you are speaking of the ego dropping like a leaf, this is true.. you do not notice it gone until something brings it to your attention through the actions of others.............namaste, thomas
