THE EGO – VILLAIN OF THE PIECE: As far as the spiritual development is concerned, there is one great stumbling block, one villain of the piece, one big hiccup along the way – the ego. It is the ego which gives rise to feeling of awareness which then generates the " I " . This separate individuality is the main barrier to the ultimate reality which an impersonal and universal Being . Enlightenment is the insight that one is not really this separate individual. Enlightened persons consider the whole world as their family; their individuality gets merged with that of the Supreme Being. – Mukul Sharma LIVE LIKE A SHIP IN THE OCEAN: A ship in the ocean moves freely, performing its job of carrying goods and persons from place to place. It faces all oceanic turmoils calmly; ensuring that the water, which makes it move does not enter into it. We will also perform the best by keeping ourselves afloat in the maya of samsara, not allowing it to engulf and make us sink or jeopardize our performance. – N. K.
