Living in a balanced way

[Guest guest]

There is a great learning in understanding, " Ego " and life

living in a balanced way.

 

This word " Ego " brings a little confusion in us. People simply catch this word and abuse each other.

 

 

Ego is basically an emotion, which creates a pride in the human form. For example, trying to change something, that is not needed, at that particular moment of time, but with your strong emotion of proving something comes in a way to do an action, which brings, a tense atmosphere, all around you. This is "Ego".

 

"Ego" is basically an animal instinct where you belittle yourself, from what really you are. The reason can be the reaction you catch from other persons also, but still maintaining serenity in those situations, is what is a balanced way of living. Understanding the fact, and not getting into that "fall" of action.

 

The people, who are sufficient enough to themselves, don't get involve in this "Ego" contest, but keep an equanimity, to let the time care of itself. They step back from the situations for a while and look for a way, guidance, to implement something better for all, which benefits all. This nature is what we call a real nature of us all.

This is hardest part, easily said than done. As humans, an individuals, the impulsive reaction of stopping something that we do not wish to happen, comes in a way, "proving ourselves", for the result. This is "ego". Ego is not separate; it is a sense of belonging in the human form. You can't make it go away, but you can embrace and make use of it as a part of your balancing nature. Make use of your thoughts that equalizes the best parts of your body. By making your mind still, you drop the idea of your individuality, and learn to balance the "Gap" between doing & none doing, and become Non-doing.

 

Meditation, gives you the knowledge of living life in a middle way. That is the only way to know "Self", because "Self" dwells in the middle of a human form. .Basically learning life to live in a balanced way, according to time and place is the truth.

This only brings unity & harmony among all in all living beings. This is the existence of Nature, the time, and existence of whole universe.

 

Become a two year old, when you talk to a two year infant. Become a four year old, or a seven year child, when you deal with that age of child. Try to understand that child, with those laughing eyes, (Perhaps some times), screaming eyes. for all the wants, & needs of them.

 

You can't preach a child of four years, about wealth, how to earn it and posses it. Neither can you make aware of health programs to a child of six years old. You can't give a lecture to a seven year boy, or girl, about relationship.

Growth has its own time and everything has to come naturally. In its own time. Scriptures are deep to understand. Just by reading a line or two, does not bring any meaning at all, unless perceived in a right way.

 

Our true nature is just to accommodate, with the real situation. That's all. You have to fit in. Step back & see life. All are part of life.

 

Good luck to you, in your meditation.
