Hello, I have a slightly weird way of thinking about this, but Hopefully you won't kick me out. I will stop my excessive posting from now, promise
Ahamkara roughly translates to I the doer. smoky, illusory Rahu likes us to believe we are the doers and that actions originate within us and so on. it creates a sense of pride or ownership or an attachment to what we perceive as only ours. when you feel different from another, you can indeed be prone to mean speech or profanity (not that it doesn't happen otherwise) but you feel different from the recipient of your words, you feel the recipient is foreign relative to you.
The Sun as the natural karaka for Atma is the brilliance of the truth that there is no other, there is no doer, nothing. The light of the param Atma shines in all of us and permeates this flesh body, so where is the difference between you and me. our ahamkara can increase with speech, and excessive identification with it, but it can increase with many other significations as well. so perhaps the best way to get rid of it may be with the help of this knowledge of who we are.
This is just a hypothesis, and i am obviously a beginner but wanted to take a jab at trying to understand this beautiful vidya.
Sorry for posting too much in the last week, I was on holiday? I go back to work now, and the random questions will stop
best regards
