Dissolution into Nirvana...

They must face this dilemma in their thinking, that if their absolutist "realization" is a fixed and finished state there is no room for an ego in it, however sublimated, refined, and purged the ego may be.

The end then, can only be a merger, a dissolution into Nirvana and a total disappearance of the conscious self.

This is a kind of death.

But there is another kind of salvation, a living one where unfoldment and growth still continue, albeit on higher levels than any which we now know.
