Egodeath (here spelt as a single word) is the state in which all sense of separation in the individual from the rest of the cosmos and from the Supreme is removed. One who has attained egodeath is totally empathic, infinitely compassionate, giving, loving, and automatically possesses gnosis and abides in a state of nonduality.
Egodeath is a sign of all great spiritual masters, and also one of the characteristics of Enlightenment. However, egodeath is not the same as Complete or Authentic Enlightenment. One may attain a state of egodeath yet still behave irrationally, chaotically, or even at times seemingly capriciously. This is because egodeath is easier to attain than total transmutation of the samskaras (tendencies) of the external being or vehicle (adhar)
