Ego-please read it

EGO:The "I" or Ego in you is a tiny atom. If this atom is associated with the body, with matter, it identifies with matter. If this atom is associated withthe being, the infinite, it identifies with the being, the infinite, it identifies with the infinite. When this atom, this ego, identifies with the body,it becomes miserable. But when it is associated with the spirit, it becomes Divine. It becomes Shakti -energy -when it is associated with the being, theself.In a huge atomic reactor it is just one atom that is exploded. In the same way, in our whole body there is just one atom of "I". And when this "I" explodes,it becomes the light of the self.Usually we say "I am miserable," or "I am happy." Shift this atom of ego from identifying with the body and the conceptual world, to identifying with thereal world.When you think well of yourself, in a very subtle way, you think badly about others. Then anger, jealousy and hatred follow. When you think badly aboutyourself, you feel low and again you become angry and you hate others. When you think well of yourself, you are in trouble and when you think badly ofyourself, you are in greater trouble. So drop your self image.Ego causes heaviness, discomfort. Ego does not let love flow. Ego can be transcended by knowing the truth, by inquiring "Who am I?" Often, you feel contemptor jealousy towards some one who is egoistical. Instead you should have compassion or even pity.There is also a positive aspect of ego. Ego drives you to do work. A person will do a job either out of compassion or out of ego. Most of the work in societyis done out of Ego. But in satsang, work is done out of love. Ego is separateness, non-belongingness. It desires to prove and to possess. When you wakeup and see that there is nothing to be proven and nothing to possess, ego dissolves.There are three modes of communication; in head-to-head communication you talk, in heart-to-heart communication you sing and soul-to-soul communicationhappens in silence.When you meet with people, you often communicate from head-to-head. You keep talking, blabbering, and you keep communication only on the level of the intellect.When you are with nature, you start singing; you communicate with nature from your heart. And when you are with Guru, you go blank and forget all yourquestions. Then communication comes through the soul in silence.When you meet with people, you prefer to remain in your head. Except when it is organized, you seldom sing with people. Your ego obstructs you from singing.When you sing with people, then you descend to the heart or feeling level. Some feel comfortable just listening to music. Some feel comfortable singingonly when they are alone. Some sing to draw attention to themselves or to charm others. Some only want to join in when everyone else is singing. This typeof singing all comes from ego.Bhajan means sharing - sharing from the deepest level of our existence. Bhajan is authentic sharing. If you could truly sing with people, your ego wouldshatter. Children can sing with people for they do not have ego. To sing with a stranger you have to be free of ego.The head level is safe for the ego. The heart level breaks the ego. The soul level dissolves the ego. The inability to communicate always occurs becauseof ego.Just as your car runs out of fuel and you have to refill it again and again, so your dedication and commitment run out over the course of time. They needconstant renewal. You have to dedicate and rededicate again and again. Often people take their dedication for granted, and then the mind starts demandingor complaining. When dedication is not complete, it leads to grumbling and complaints. Total dedication brings enormous enthusiasm, zeal, trust, and challenge.Total dedication leaves no room for ego.What breaks intimacy?· Taking a position, or ego· Desires or expectations· Insensitivity or too much sensitivity· Judgments· Taking intimacy for granted· Finding imperfection in yourself or others· Grumbling or lack of gratitude· Lack of vivek -- discretion, or lack of vairagya - dispassionTo maintain intimacy, dissolve into infinity. Dissolving into infinity brings you to the moment. Go beyond events and be in the moment. Dissolve intointimacy - this is the way to maintain it.
