“Worldly Ego and Spiritual Ego”

Worldly Ego is only our imagination |

A child has no sense of ego

What is Ego? |

Where there is ego, there is influence from others |

Greed for profit, fear of punishment |

An egoistic man will take everything for granted |
|
ego can bring us to a state of slavery |

Possessiveness |

possessiveness has no end |

the spiritual ego is more dangerous than the mundane ego |
|
what are the expressions of the spiritual ego? |
|
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa |
|
“i belong to the whole - i am not separate” |

mutual co-existence is egolessness |
|
dropping the ego is out of the question |

let us not think humility is egolessness |

be egoless to keep healthy |
|

|
The FIVE D’s |
|
Dedication
|
|
we have to dedicate (Give up)
our ego
|
|
I am only a cassette |
|
Devotion is love for God
|
|
You are no devotee if you have
no discipline
|
|
the highest and the greatest
duty is the realisation of the self
|
|
Discrimination
|
|
the sixth automatically is the result |
|
True identity is known only by dedication of the ego |
|
Enlightenment is not a stage
|
|
love is the beginning and the
end
|
|
once the ego is given up, peace is the result |
|
spirituality is stateless |
|
That is only ground
preparation
|
|
Devotion is unconditional,
desireless, selfless, eternal love for God
|
|
Worldly devotion is an
aspiration
|
|
Visa Venkateshwar
|
|
Faith + Confidence = Devotion
|
|
Devotion is Non-interference in our faith |
|
unity of thought, word and
deed IS CHARACTER
|
|
the highest duty is to know
the purpose of life
|
|
Man has become the worst
exploiter
|
|
Discriminate between good and
bad
|
|
Life is a dreamland, but not a
merry land
|

Why don’t we meditate? |
|
Surrender is total, never partial |

Where there is no love, there is no devotion |

To enjoy Pure Divine Love,
lose the ego

A Smile is the gift of God |
