Ego Vs Awareness

Ego Vs Awareness

First thought that “I am this body” for the Ego, is what the first drink was for someone who is a habitual drinker now.

The ego was not there at one time; it got built up piece by piece and thought by thought, from innocence into what it is today.

A fanatic Hindu or Muslim wasn’t born that way; they all started with just an innocent first thought that “I am Hindu”, “I am Muslim.”

Ego is addictive, and thoughts are its fuel.

A cure for a drug addict is a drug rehab, and the cure for the Ego is drowning it into nothingness, which is within you.

A thought cannot cure habitual thinking; only a thoughtless state can.

Just as when waves subside, and the ocean is always there, when thoughts subside, the sea of awareness is always there.

You don’t need thoughts to define you (which is the Ego).

The thoughtless state can define itself as is – This is it.

You are that – Tatvamasi.

Every relationship had a starting point, whether it was with objects, people, or situations, and all of them came from outside.

And compilation of all that is the mind.

When this is realized, the inner journey can start, which is not a relationship; it is YOU.
