Sayings of Ramakrishna 161

There are two Egos in man, one ripe and the other unripe. 

The ripe Ego thinks, "Nothing is mine; whatever I see, or feel, or hear, nay, even this body is not mine, I am always free and eternal."

The unripe Ego, on the contrary, thinks, "This is my house, my room, my child, my wife, my body, and so forth."
