It also makes sense to realise that the ego is important, for the ego is ,so we are ; without the ego , what am I? If I have no ego then I might as well be any one of the rocks on the path, any one of the flowers in the garden, any one of the birds in the sky, or insects in the earth. It does not then matter. Then it would suffice for me to just work enough to survive, there'd be no need to improve or do better next time, or better than the other. In fact our religion says, the moment you do better, along with satisfaction and pleasure comes vanity and pride-- the food for Ego. At once the good is undone!
But religion says, do good --do good , and say no, its not me, I've done nothing, its the Master, its His creation.Perfect. Then where am I, and what am I doing? what should I be doing, and why?
Sometimes , if one can lose oneself in God's name, these questions do not come, it actually does not matter, and we can go on working , thinking, planning, employing, delegating, and getting great results, at the same time feeling that we're out of our bodies, that its really not us , or that we are only incidentally in the scheme of things; it could easily have been someone else--it wouldn't have mattered to any one! Beleive me it does happen. But it is one moment in a million million. And the moment disappears before we realise its divine cause . Right now I could be in that process, for I am with myself so there's no conflict. But will I feel just as calm if I'm surrounded with people ?
People actually complement each other. None of us are complete. Only God is complete. All of nature is working all the time to keep me, Satbir, even alive and breathing. Look like this, and ther is no conflict--none at all! There is total dependance, I need the whole of nature and the whole of mankind to just be alive. So, where's my ego? GONE WITH THE WIND! ACTUALLY!
