Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 A Quotation from Bhagawan The worst enemy of man is his ego. Many have been able to overcome the six weaknesses: anger, pride, lust, greed, hatred and attachment, but rare indeed is the hero who has demolished his ego, which has jealousy as its companion trying to dominate the mind continuously. More than ordinary men, the scholars, sages, teachers and even devout spiritual aspirants are victims of ego. It is their ego which makes them declare that they are nearest to God and the most enlightened. The ego brings wave after wave of wants and wishes. When egoism enters man, envy follows fast. Sorrow is the shadow that haunts the ego. How does egoism get into our system? Where was the ego in the beginning? Is it a weed cultivated by us for our destruction? Where were we before we were born? Where will we be after death? SSS: Vol. X; Page 201.
