Its Ego this time...

Hi friends it’s been a long time I haven’t wrote anything in my blog. I would like to tell you all something about Ego this time.

I have seen people who talks about ego and ego clashes always in my life. Well I also have spoke about it. I have seen the power of that three letter word Ego. Trust me the word seems to be so simple but it can makes your life hell. Everybody is having Ego.

Actually what is Ego? Ego is something which comes from the unawareness. A bit of awareness will kill any kind of ego in your mind. At the very beginning of this world there was no word name ego. People don’t know what it is. Slowly the time came when people started making their rules and behavioral standards ego pierced in to the heart of human. We all are living in this world according to the standards set by our religion or our parents or our society. About that I will talk later.

Now I will come back to our topic Ego. I will tell you a small example for the nonexistence of ego. Let’s take a room full of darkness; you are not able to see things inside it. Assume that darkness as ego. When you bring a candle inside the room you are able to see everything inside it, because there is no darkness in the room now. The light you bring inside the room is the awareness. Now what happened is it is not that when you bring the light inside the room darkness went outside. The fact is there was no darkness inside the room. It’s just the absence of awareness. Ego is nothing it is just lack of awareness.

We all are only reacting to the things happening around us, we all forget about doing the action. The reason why it is hard for people to realize the fact is, we been following and told to live in a scrupulous way from our very young age. And we been following that or forced to follow that. We are bonded to lot of things around us. Only great people can take the risk to break that bond and live their life in the way they want. For example when I got the results First Class in my Engineering I felt like shout ear-piercing and show my happiness, Unfortunately I was in the college at that time there were people around me and I couldn’t even show my happiness there in the right way just because I was aware that people around and I know what they will think when I scream from there. I should have done in the right way if there was no body around. I am just trying to tell you the limitations a normal human is having. He or she has to think about so many things before doing any thing in his life.

Realizing the fact there is no ego and remove that completely from your mind is such a difficult task for a normal human. That’s why there are only one Buddha and Jesus in this world. What we can do is just be aware about the ego and what it can do to your life. Stop reacting and start doing actions. If you keep on reacting for things you will never be happy in your life and you will be controlled by the people around you, because you are just reacting for the comments or the things happening around you.

I hope you all liked it. Please let me know the comments and suggestions about this article.
