Vaisesika Sūtras

Vaisesika Sūtra 3.2.15

देवदत्तोगच्छतीत्युपचारादभिमानात्तावच्छरीर प्रत्यक्षोऽहङ्कारः ॥१५॥

devadatto gacchati iti upacārāt abhimānāt tāvat-śarīra pratyakṣaḥ ahaṅkāraḥ ॥15॥

[देवदत्तः (devadattaḥ) - Devadatta; गच्छति (gacchati) - goes; इति (iti) - thus; उपचारात् (upacārāt) - by attribution; अभिमानात् (abhimānāt) - from identification; तावत् (tāvat) - as long as; शरीर (śarīra) - the body; प्रत्यक्षः (pratyakṣaḥ) - directly perceived; अहङ्कारः (ahaṅkāraḥ) - ego;]

The ego is directly perceived as long as the body is identified through attribution like "Devadatta goes".

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
