Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Due to ego, you think you are the doer of all actions and thus you are attached to your actions. As a result, the merits and demerits of your actions will taint you, and your life, then, would take a downward trend. Elders say to have ego-sense is a sin and results in one’s own downfall. Ego blinds your eyes and veils your wisdom. What is easily seen by others as a grave mistake in you, may not appear to you even as a slight one. When the ego blinds the mind like a thick fog, as you will not be able to see even a big pit in front of you, even so you will not be able to know the evil nature that dwells in your mind. There is only one way to get out of this danger. You have to give up the feelings of doership. You have to realize that all actions are done by God through you. If this idea becomes firm in you, ego will disappear."
