Durga: No-Body In Billion Bodies!

One of the great illusions of our life is this: we believe that there is a single unique person within us. We are not a person. We are multiple people inside the same body. The singular human personality is a mask of deception.

Personality is shaped by the interaction of our life principle with the outer world. We have a tendency to think that we are nothing more than a bundle of memories that define our strengths, weaknesses, fears, joys and key life events determined by our DNA. Our mind is constantly seeking continuity of our personality by interpreting us and our actions.
