Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 This is an excerpt of a meeting Osho (Shree Rashneesh) had with a group of therapists. Question: It comes up that people are saying that I am on an ego-trip. Should I just accept that? Osho: To accept the ego is to go beyond it, because the ego is never willing to accept. The ego is always protective and defensive. It goes on always saying that you are not on an ego-trip. Once you say " yes, maybe I am on an ego-trip " it is finished. Then what is the point of an ego? Then you become defenceless, you accept it. And if you feel that " yes, I am on an ego-trip -- and I am enjoying it! " In that moment there is no ego, because when you accept, the whole game is gone. The game consists of not accepting. People are saying that you are on an ego trip, and you say that you are a humble man, the most humble man in the world. (laughter) You say that you are not on an ego-trip. You may be. That is the ego -- accept it. If you feel certain, accept it with certainty. If you are not certain say " maybe " , " perhaps " . If you think that you are not on an ego-trip, but the other is feeling very happy that you are, then let him enjoy it! That is the ego-trip, so, why be worried about it! Good.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 >What is ego? It is anger at trifles because the image has been violated it is delight over trifles because the image has been validated it is indifference over grave concerns because the image seems out of harms way Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
