"...What is the inner significance of this ash? When any object that has a name
and form is completely burnt, it is reduced to ashes. The name and form are
gone. All things are one and the same in the final state as ashes.
When Vibhuti is given, Swami wants the recipient to understand this Advaitam
(basic oneness). The devotee should get rid of Ahamkara (ego arising from the
feeling of separateness) and sense of Mamakara ("mine" and "thine"). These two
are based on name and form and when they are destroyed, the underlying unity of
the Divine can be realized.
- taken from Swami's Discourse in Poornachandra Hall..11th July 1987..
