Your Conscious, Friendly Mind – Day 21
Of course, ego is also the step towards reaching the egoless state that is the Self or the Soul. From ego to egolessness is the journey of the soul. But we have to begin to give up the ego — who we think ourselves to be — in order to experience infinite reality. That is the biggest problem. We are afraid that if we give up our ego, we will be non-existent, but we are no more than vegetables until we awaken to complete, childlike trust and faith in the Divine.
As long as the mind works, the soul is individualized. As we practice meditation and different ways of Self-realization, we
transcend the mind and ego and become one with the Soul which is non-individual and is Universal. As long as ego is the king, we are far from the Kingdom of God. The day we surrender the shadow (ego) to the real King of kings, the Light of all lights, the shadow (ego) transforms into light and Light eternal.
1. Pray to the Divine every morning and evening, at bedtime and when you wake up, asking humbly when is my EGO going to dissolve so that this false world of matter will melt into space filled with Light and Love, so that all that remains is without its contamination and corruptions!
2. First calm yourself through practices of yoga and meditation and gradually access the inner power of your calmed mind. Then you will feel a tremendous sense of love for all beings. Your mind will not crave for recognition or results. It will rejoice in giving, in forgiving. Every act will be a spontaneous flow from inside, arising from the internal source of energy that is infinite and inexhaustible, not from your limited ego.
