    Way to smash hidden ego in us

    The soul develops ego during its lifetime by helping other souls. The ego is the most dangerous snake that enters the self without your notice. The ego hides itself in the subconscious state of mind and you will be feeling that you are not at all egoistic. It is like a first stage of cancer, which is generally not noticed. Such hidden ego is smashed when you kneel before God on your fore legs and beg for the basic necessities. The saint practices this through begging the houses for food so that the concept of donor shall vanish away. God alone is the ultimate donor.

    Yes a humility counters the ego. Nothing like the vain being humbled.

    The jealousy and egoism towards human incarnation are not directed towards the inner Lord present in the human body but are towards the external human body. People think that the human incarnation is just the human being i.e., the human body only. Every human being has jealousy towards another human being in this world. Nobody can tolerate the point of “greaterness” of another human being in any aspect like wealth, knowledge etc. Unless this repulsion towards the co-human beings is removed, the jealousy towards human incarnation cannot be eradicated.

    For this purpose, the devotee is required to undergo a training in removing his jealousy towards the co-human beings. Therefore, recognise the greaterness of every human being than your self and develop the submissiveness towards any human being in this world. Feel that you are the lowest among all the human beings. Always see merits in others and see only defects in yourself. Such vision will give you the submissiveness towards any co-human being. Your egoism will be destroyed by such training.

    Love all the human beings, seeing only good side in every human being. Serve the entire humanity as the most obedient servant. Such training will remove the jealousy towards the external human form of the Lord. Even if you have not realised the Lord in the human form, you will not have jealousy towards the human incarnation because you are loving and serving every human being.

    Thus, even before realization of the inner Lord, you have started serving the Lord as a human being also. In course of time you will experience the presence of the inner Lord and then slowly you will realise and become the devotee. You are advised to be slightly inferior to every human being and this does not mean that you should go down completely and develop inferiority complex, which is also dangerous.

    The patient expects that his temperature should be decreased by the doctor and this does not mean that his temperature should be taken to zero. It means only that the extra temperature is to be reduced. Even slightly lesser than the normal temperature is also not dangerous. Egoism is the extra temperature. Removal of egoism does not mean the removal of your self-existence. Some people condemn themselves always as sinners. They think that this is removal of egoism. That is over action only and not the removal of fever but that is bringing down the body- temperature to ice cold zero.
