EGO AND IDENTITY

  Ego and supremacy fights among religions can only exile God and not invite Him. Regurgitate on comments at http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj .

   Selfishness is fueled by uncontrolled animal-instincts like lust, anger, envy, ego, greed, enmity, attachment - meant exclusively for our survival.

   Man - at the top of the tree of animal kingdom - surprisingly refuses to accept being an animal. Perhaps, ego is the cause.

    A major difference between big and great is, despite both being big, the great ones are humble and do not pose.

   Living-beings on earth wear a protoplasmic (matter/energy) clothing for a life-time which gives them their individual but temporary identity.

  Soul in all beings is God's own original-self; therefore, wise ones are never biased & treat all beings as God's family - Vasudev Kutumbkam.  

  Like man runs his instruments with electricity,God runs His instruments: 330million gods/godesses & 8.4 million living-beings,with His soul. 

  Yog may give super-human powers to the person, practice of which, may add to ego of the practiser & thus God-realization may become difficult.  

  Philosophy of life originates from regurgitatation of deep thoughts and not from shallow egotism.  

  Only a rare devotee, who loves God selflessly, & surrenders his ego to God, can have have clear-view/darshan of God: http://twitpic.com/1ttcxj  

  KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH shall continue to evade mind, as long as man refuses to surrender his false ego; already 5000 years of civilization gone by.

  AMNESIA OF IDENTITY: God informs us through Gita that man loves his temporary ID so much that he forgets himself being God - illusion of mind. 

  God views us not as protoplasmic bodies but as souls, who have turned away from Him and started enjoying separate ego of identity: Gita.

  Those who totally surrender their ego to God and give away spare-earning in charity to deserving have-nots and love God, become God (Moksh): Gita. 

  Why Love? Because in True Love, one surrenders false ego - the root-cause of selfishness and worldly desires - "Love is My/God's innermost nature and Truth I am" : Gita.   

  Biggest surprise on earth is that we are afraid to face Truth but, ready to suffer and die numerous times and yet, treat ourselves as permanent.

  May mankind not be naive to pit religions against God Almighty Himself, in order to satisfy ego of diverse religious identities on earth.

  Water in a dew drop has its identity before it dries into air or dissolves into ocean. Man has yet to realize this simple fact of existence.

  True-self in all living-beings including man & God is SAME. Our mind refuses to accept this hard-fact and suffers from ego: God's worship helps. 

  If man fails to control his ego and fear fellow-men, he shall soon be responsible for wiping out all life from earth.

  "Every living-entity is called fallible in the material world, In the spiritual world, every living-entity is called infallible": Gita 5.16.

  Upon total surrender of ego when a devotee submits to God, it is God who becomes a devotee of the devotee: thus, man becomes God: Ancient wisdom.

  APPREHENSION ON NIRVAN/MOKSH: Why to lose one's identity in God while being in heavens, one can enjoy existing as a separate entity?

  "Impelled by lust, ego and attachment, those who undergo severe austerities and penances to torture body and soul are to be known as demons": Gita17.6.

  "Demonaic minds thus indulge in insatiable lust, conceit, false-prestige and are sworn to unclean work hell-bent to impermanent" Gita 16.12.  

  "If you be conscious of Me (God), you will tide over all obstacles of conditioned life by My Grace. In false pride you shall be lost": Gita 18.58.

  "ONLY men of small knowledge fall pray to religiosity promising sense-gratification and opulent life and elevation to heavens". Wake up. Gita 2.43.
