What is Ego? What does Ego represent to us? Are we capable of genuinely answering that question? Let’s think a bit about that through a given example. What should we do if we see in front of us two people we don’t know physically attacking one another, a person we’ve no idea who is being sexually harassed, or a child we know nothing about being abused? The conscious answers for all those questions are simple but are we sure we practise the right actions we’ve a personal duty of doing when in the face of the aforementioned awful and disgusting situations? The moment we realise what the right actions are, and what we do when dealing with any type of negativity before us, it’s the moment we truly and genuinely understand what Ego really is and represents in society since the beginning of time.
It’s easy to be inert and doing nothing when observing something wrong before us. It’s also easy to pretend we’ve seen or listened to nothing, and therefore, become unspoken concerning something that just has happened. However, is it the right thing to do for the situation we’re either observing or experiencing? Welcome to what Ego does to a person experiencing deep periods of suffering. Let’s remember that being silent, inert, unspoken, or care free of anything happening before us is not always the right thing to do. It could be the Ego speaking out loud and saying: if my life isn’t involved, there’s nothing to do about anything happening on the outside.
If we cannot consciously differ right from wrong, it gets extremely difficult to realise and understand what Ego really is and represents. We need to keep consciousness at hand, perform our body and mind training, and attain higher levels of peace of mind in order to step into higher stages of our personal evolution.
Next time we get a difficult, awful, and disgusting situation before us, let’s think about the influence of Ego on our actions, consciously and meaningfully.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
