Self is the sense of separate existence. Whenever there is the ‘me’ and the ‘other’ the result is fear - fear of what the other would do to me. Out of fear, struggle for survival, comparison, jealousy, hatred, all the rest are born. Sri Bhagavan says, “Self is only a concept”. A concept by definition is something that does not exist in reality. It is an illusion.
