So, what is Ego?

Ego is knowing and believing what you are not. Use ego as a driving force for growth but not for the pride of 'doer-ship'. When inertia, hurt, anger, depression, pain, violence dominate us then we are not in the right state of being. Some other self comes in-between our true self and divinity.

That is Ego. Ego is a weakness; it limits growth and creates stagnancy. It seeks constant approval from others and is energy consuming in its maintenance.

But the person who lives in the attributes of the soul and has acquired the gunas or qualities of the soul, her existence is for universal expansion, just giving and giving like Nature, without asking for returns. Her karm is to spread joy. She does not aspire for any sort of approval and is beyond all worldly demands. This happens due to a supreme state of non-attachment. In this state a form of sacred love comes into force which is above all mundane worldly selfish motives.

The desire to control, possess, resent or use disagreements to trigger off personal imagination or opinions never reflects pious love. It gives rise to attachment. In attachment, needs cover the soul. It creates layers of ignorance which hampers growth and blossoming into our true self.

We have trouble letting go of things and happenings due to the ego of doer-ship, little realizing that separation is not something to be feared. It is a test of time given to us to realize how strongly we are connected to our true self. The state of being away from our soul surfaces in separation, and the pain experienced is attachment. So it is also a form of fear. The soul is above fear and attachment. It has an eternal quality of spreading truth, love and light for which it requires no external support.

If we are out of doership and ego then we are centered in our true self and no fear can affect us, we stop analyzing others whether they live up to our expectations or not, resist to control situations, correcting others mistakes and advising and instructing others. This is the first step towards realizing the gunas of the soul. So leave the desire to control and aspire for freedom. Resentment arises with a need to control, letting free or letting go is love.  

This is the truth,
