WHAT is MAMAKARA - iNNER iMAGE?
Mamakara - what you feel as you—inner image. Your own expectation about you is mamakāra or Inner Image. It is the inner idea and the experience you carry about yourself like—I am healthy, I am ugly, I am intelligent, I cannot tolerate hard work, I love people etc. But, the idea you carry about you is always less than what you project yourself to be for others!.
WHAT iS AHAMKARA - OUTER iMAGE?
Ahankara - what you project you to others— outer image The second identity is how you show or project yourself to others called ahamkāra or Outer Image. Unfortunately, what you project is always far more than what you believe yourself to be.
WHAT is ANYAKARA - OTHERS iMAGE?
Anyakara - what others hold you as—others’ image The third identity you carry is the image that others have about you, how others expect you to be, called anyakāra or Others’ Image. How others perceive you may be different from how you project yourself to them, because people create their opinion about you from the subtle signals you give them, rather than what you openly project. Humans are intelligent enough to catch even what you don’t say or especially what you don’t say!
WHAT is SVANYAKARA - LiFE iMAGE?
Svanyakara - what you think about others and life—life image And the fourth identity is very subtle, because it is not directly related to you. It is how you experience life to be for you and what you expect others to be, called svānyakāra or Life Image.

Please understand, this is also your identity, because it defines the exact experience you will be receiving from the people and situations from life
