<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The ego was created for the work of individualisation; when the work is achieved, it is not unusual for the ego to accept its own dissolution. (The Mother; 7 December, 1968) <ref><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/7-december-1968#p2</u></ref>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">...before speaking of merging one's ego in the Divine, one must first know a little what one is. The ego is there. Its necessity is that you become conscious, independent beings, individualised—I mean in the see of independent—that you may not be the public square where everything goes criss-cross! That you may exist in yourselves. That is why there is an ego. It is like that; that is why also there is a skin, like that... though truly, even physical forces pass through the skin. There is a vibration which goes a certain distance. But still, it's the skin that prevents us from blending into one another. (The Mother; 28 July, 1954)<ref><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/28-july-1954#p56</u></ref></span>
<span style="color:#000000;">The "I" or the little ego is constituted by Nature and is at once a mental, vital and physical formation meant to aid in centralising and individualising the outer consciousness and action. When the true being is discovered, the utility of the ego is over and this formation has to disappear—the true being is felt in its place. <ref><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-true-being-and-the-true-consciousness#p2</u></ref></span>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">In order to become a conscious, individualised being, one needs his ego; that is why it is there. It is only when one has realised his own individuality sufficiently, has become a conscious, independent being with its own reality, that he no longer needs the ego. And at </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">that time one can make an effort to get rid of it. (The Mother; 22 September, 1954) <ref><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/22-september-1954#p42</u></ref></span>
<div style="color:#000000;">Individualised life-force here is an energy of individualising and ignorant Mind, Mind that has fallen from the knowledge of its own Supermind. Therefore incapacity is necessary to its relations in Life and inevitable in the nature of things; <ref><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/death-desire-and-incapacity#p13</u></ref></div>
