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.
