Ego is the Enemy

 

         Ego

Ego is the only barrier between us and unity of life - between us and the lord within

how to find happiness - pg.15  Eknath Eswaran

Ego definition: A conscious seperation from everything ...Alcoholics Anonymous

Ego is what creates the divide - it uses the concept of divide and conquer;
creates the wedge between me and the world;
ego segments and segments - like a marketing guru - 
and conquers me and makes me unhappy in the whole process

how then do I conquer ego? there is only one way - engage in self-less work;
give, share: without expectations and without show-off

give for sake of giving;
more you do this - more you think unity;

As Carl Jung says , only with ego reduction , you can shift your CG from ego to Self;
from material plane to spiritual plane

"The more the selfless work you do, without even a thankyou - smaller the ego becomes - zero expectations ;
Joy = Give/Expect;
then joy becomes infinite!

Mark of maturity is easy: mature person is a giver; the immature person is a grabber "
Eknath Eswaran
