In the Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta branch of Hindu philosophy, though not extensively discussed in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna informs Arjuna that Ahaṁkāra, be removed.
Krishna mentions that "Air, water, earth, fire, sky, mind, intelligence and ahankara (ego) together constitute the nature created by me."
Examples of Ahaṃkāra in action: Consider how an otherwise sensible young man might feel if his new sports car was a reflection of his true self.
In both cases, the mind has averred a state of illusion, appearing real to the person who blurs the line between subjectivity and reality.
In Vak tattva, the individual’s will, determination, and sense of morality come into play, which is the first step on the path to enlightenment.
