(Sri Datta Dhyaana Maalikaa)

That knowledge which comes without teaching is called ‘Upajnaa’. All beings in this creation will have the Upajnaa, namely, ‘I’. He is of the nature of such Upajnaa! After all, he is the collective Ahamkara (collective ego) of all the beings of this creation. Still, He does not tolerate if His devotees get even an iota of ego. My prostrations to such a Lord, who is one without a second.
