Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Dear Friends,Hari OM.We are discussing the topic of''Ego' here. If we are successful in extinguishing the ego-sense in us , the sense of Divinity will prevail. Let us come to remember our real nature. Let us stop dreaming with such ideas as "I am poor", "I am mortal", "I am rich"," I am wise", "I am a samsarin etc.etc." Vedanta tells us,"end the shadow in you,the ego,by surrendering unto HIM, the Atman, the Self in us. Detach the false ego from the True Self. Egolessness is the state of Godhood. When the mind,intellect and ego are eliminated, the CHIT(Intelligence) merges with the Pure Consciouness. Only through the path of action, the wall of ego can be broken. Each individual has his ego. If the Vasanas ( Tendencies )are removed, then it will become self-evident to the ego that ego itself is nothing other than God. The vasanas are a bundle of desires. They exert pressure on the mind and intellect to satisfy wants and desires so that the ego can enjoy and be happy by doing so. The body acts to satisfy such ego-centric desires ,that is desires which satisfy and please the ego or the "I" and "MY" sense in man. Egocentric("I want" or "I desire" type) desires gather and create more Vasanas. With increasing egoless actions, the vasanas exhaust themselves more and more.
