Ego... by Sonali 2011/12/16 07:09
when is there ego? 1. when we don't get attention. 2. When we seem to be losing attention. 3. When we get attention........... Ego causes heaviness, discomfort, fear, anxiety. Ego does not let love flow. Ego is seperateness, non-belongingness, wanting to prove and possess. Ego can be transcended by knowing the truth, by enquiring 'Who am I?'. Often, we feel contempt or jealousy towards someone who is egotistical. But rather we should have compassion or even pity...... There is also a positive aspect of ego. Ego drives us to do work. A person will do a job either out of compassion or out of ego. Most of the work in society is done out of ego. But in church, mosques and temples...work is done out of love. When we wake up and see that there is nothing to be proved and nothing to possess..., ego dissolves.

I always believed ''Love is nothin but zeroin ur ego for someone'' and i always try my best to do that.
Ego kills love n relationships.

It exists in every human. The ones who know to control the effects of it keep rising. In love, it should show no effects, that will be safer.

Nice topic Sonali.
Actually ego is not a bad thing, if it is used appropriatly. Question is, is one in control of it or not?

it all depends upon
the sincerity of our
interest in genuine
and truly radical
transformation.
That's why there
is so much
confusion about
the theme of this
issue of What Is
Enlightenment?
Because our ability
to recognize the
true face of the
ego, to see it for
what it actually is,
depends entirely
upon how far we
want to go on the
spiritual path.
A simple
psychological
definition of the
ego is something
like the
"self-organizing principle,"
that all-important
command center in
the psyche that
coordinates the
different aspects
of the self
.
