All forms of psychotherapy

including psychoanalysis, are based on a premise that is exactly the cause of what could be called a fundamental neurosis in the light of advaita … namely the arising of an ego that experiences itself as a separated entity...The psychoanalyst tries to restore an ego to balance and harmony, an ego in balance with its surroundings and with other beings. On closer examination this ideal is seen to be completely naïve... This is just about as absurd as applying oneself to curing the symptoms of a disease without turning to the sickness itself. The psychoanalytic cure is thus not a real cure. It doesn’t liberate the sick person from the sickness, it helps him to live with it, with the ego. His sickness is imaginary. From the point of view of advaita a psychoanalyst always works, whether consciously or not, and in all sincerity, just as does Monsieur Purgon, the doctor in Moliére’s ‘The Imaginary Invalid’.
