Acharya Prashant explains what happens to ego tendencies after Realization. He states that when the lover is not there, the house is a prison. When the lover comes, the house and its walls still remain, but their meaning totally changes. The same walls that were the walls of the prison now become decorations and active canvases to be painted on. The walls will remain, but their meanings will totally change. This transformation applies to all tendencies. You would still move, but no longer in desperation; you would move about dancing. You would still be attracted, but the objects to which you are attracted would change. You would still touch, but the quality of your touch would change. Even the tendency to acquire and achieve might remain, but the acquisition and achievement would now have a certain distinct aroma. The tendency to feel bad or experience sorrow might still be there, but now your tears would have a certain purity; you would not be crying for self-centered reasons. The speaker clarifies that even the great latent tendency of sexual attraction will still be there, but now the touch will not be the touch of the butcher; it will really be the touch of the poet and the seer. It is not as if the tendencies evaporate when you come close to the Truth; they do not evaporate, they just get purified. He advises against trying to kill the tendencies, because if you kill the tendencies, you kill yourself. The tendencies have their rightful place in existence. If you want to cry, cry in love, not in hatred. If you want to run amok, run amok in joy, not in desperation. Spirituality, for a long time, has been about a suppression of tendencies, which does no good.
