Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 My dearest NMadasamy, I feel loved ! Thank you For me, I identify as my ego is that identity-feeling of individuality, within me which seeks to embrace the Divine. It is that portion of me that feels the separatedness. That portion of of the heart which aches for its lover, the agony of being incomplete and not knowing. That yearing, the all consuming flame, is what I identify as my ego, for that is the part within me which feels the separation. The qualities that it expresses when tuned to different frequencies, i.e. when not tuned into the divine and engrossed in miriad thought processes, are the dressings which I am trying to remove, as I am hooked to the feeling that I get when I am tuned in - not to often I am afraid. Krishna stealing the dresses of the Gopis ! Nadis ! Jai Radha ! Hare Krishna ! Love ! Jai Jai Maa ! Uffffffffffffffffffffff ...... What is exciting is the fact that to dispel darkness (remove those dressings) all we need it to bring in the light. Enlightenment can happen instantaneously ?! Now where was that darn switch !!! The way I see it, the 'ego' is cool; its dresings though are not esssential. Unless; we wish to experience the role that dressing/costume causes us to act on the stage of life. Like a gourmet feast of various flavours, sweet, sour, pungent, spicy; so how can I say the firey spice of chilli is bad when it is me that has choosen to play the role of a pepper. Variety is the spice of life, thank God for the ability and strength to be able and have been given the tastes of so many flavours, to experience divinity in so many forms - happiness, sadness, dispair, hope, anger, peace - embrace, surrender my ego to yours - namaste With love, Red NMadasamy <nmadasamy wrote: --- In , Vir Rawlley <redderred wrote: > > Hi NMadasamy, > > Okay this is tongue-in-cheek.
