Q. Dear Bhagavan, what is Oneness spirit, Bhagavan?
Sri Bhagavan: Oneness spirit means first of all you must realize that there is no sameness in the world, nor is it possible, nor is it desirable. We are all different. We create the other and the other is creating us. We are all mutually dependent. The beauty is we're all different. But we're all one. Realizing this is the spirit of Oneness. Seeing how the other is different. And because of that the other is helping you. If we all were the same, there would be no humanity at all. Appreciating this difference is what we call Oneness. When you see this, you are filled with love for the other. You would develop concern for the other. You would develop care for the other and you would become responsible for the other. That is the spirit of Oneness.

In Sufi terms the crushing of the ego is called Nafs Kushi.
And how do we crush it?
We crush it by sometimes taking ourselves to task. When the self says, 'O no, I must not be treated like this,' then we say, 'What does it matter?' When the self says, 'He ought to have done this, she ought to have said that,' we say, 'What does it matter, either this way or that way? Every person is what he is; you cannot change him, but you can change yourself.' That is the crushing... It is only in this way that we can crush our ego.

75. Know that a flawless yogi is one who does not ever allow himself to be swayed by desire for the pleasures of the senses, who frees himself at heart from mamakara treating things as "mine", who has a steadfast mind, who is free from desires and fear, and who always revels in the Self.

नाश्चर्यमिदं विश्वं
न किंचिदिति निश्चयी।
निर्वासनः स्फूर्तिमात्रो
न किंचिदिव शाम्यति॥११- ८॥

अनेक आश्चर्यों से युक्त यह विश्व अस्तित्वहीन है, ऐसा निश्चित रूप से जानने वाला, इच्छा रहित और शुद्ध अस्तित्व हो जाता है। वह अपार शांति को प्राप्त करता है॥८॥

This world of many wonders, actually does not exist. One who knows it with definiteness becomes free from desires and attains the form of pure existence. He finds unlimited peace.॥8॥
