Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namaha
Regarding the story of 'salt doll in sea'. A salt doll went to find sea. When it found sea, it got dissolved in the sea. There is no one to see the sea.
Following is what I understood from the above story.
If the ego/mind wants to find out God/Truth, It does lot of sadhana / spiritual practices. Ego does Tapas, contemplation, meditation, pranayama, daana, yama, niyama and attains chittashuddi / purity of mind. The part of mind that is tamo guna is observed and dropped as non-self. The part of mind that is rajo guna is observed and dropped as non-self. The part of mind that is sattwa becomes balanced and peaceful. till this point the 'i'
remains. After mind becomes purer and purer, the 'i' becomes subtler and subtler. The tendency to produce 'I, me , mine' thoughts becomes less and less, and finally the sattwic 'i' is also seen as non-self and the original enquirer is observed and dropped as non-self, and becomes non-existent, it does not raise its head. The association is broken.
What I mean to say is , ego wants to find God/Truth, but it becomes non-discernable and is discarded after it becomes pure. Self alone is.
