Through self-experience, light shines forth, and O Akha, the ego then meets its end.

This couplet by the poet Akho beautifully explains that true light and understanding emerge from within, through self-experience. When you truly connect with your inner self, a profound realization dawns. This spiritual awakening then naturally leads to the dissolution of the ego. It means that once you deeply understand who you are beyond superficial identities, your sense of 'I'ness, born from pride and illusion, simply vanishes. It's a journey of self-discovery that liberates you from the confines of ego and illuminates your true nature.
