Zen Mode

ego edifice crumbles
pristine presence within
emerges from the chrysalis 
that that never was thus dies
that that always was and is shines

as self-existent light of Self

Exactly, gw! Ego (identity) disappears … just falls away and then our true Self (which always is but not cognised by lower mind) is recognised/ seen. We then know the answer to Ramana’s question, ‘who am I?’
