The reason we have ego is because it is necessary for our growth in life. Ego should be there when there is challenge and creativity. In success, drop your ego, but, in failure, hold on to it. When you think you are failing, the ego says, come on, what is this, nothing can touch me.
The ‘I’, or ego, is a tiny atom. It causes heaviness and discomfort. When this atom, the ego, identifies with the body, it becomes miserable. But when it is associated with the spirit, the Self, it becomes Divine. It becomes shakti (energy).
In a huge atomic reactor, it is just one atom that has exploded. In the same way, in our body, there is just one atom of ‘I’. And when this ‘I’ explodes, it becomes the light of the Self. In ‘Giridhari‘, Krishn‘s name Giri means mountain, which is ego….
And Giridhari lifted the whole mountain with his little finger. This means that even though the ego is like a mountain, but with a little bit of love, you can lift it….
The antidote for ego is just being natural like a child. So, be in unconditional love and then ego automatically disappears.
