The ego, life, and love

Tweet

We should not try to destroy our ego, but to work with it. Our ego is a part of who we are. Our total person includes our ego. We need to connect our ego to our soul, rather than to our mind, and so instead of trying to work alone, controlling our mind, our ego will then become a refined tool for our soul to use, as well, as our mind, which it should control our use of too. Make your ego a true ego, and do not allow it to remain a false ego, living only for itself. The egoic mind creates suffering, and pain, as it works from a level that has been described as an insanity, compared to the egoic soul, which works with a higher aware, conscious, mind, instead. “Love, and ego, can never exist together, just as the Sun, and shadow, cannot.” The spiritual writer, and mystic, Banani Ray, said this in her book, "Gautama." She has it all wrong, though, as the ego and love must exist together for our life to work optimally, but our ego has to be aligned to our soul self, and not be allowed to control us, by its usurping our mind, for its own purposes. We should only follow our soul purposes for our life. Photo Credit: The photo used in this article was sourced from the free media site, pixabay.com Do not let your ego block you on your true path. Allow you ego to help you to move along this true path, not block it off.
