What is the difference between ‘happening’ and ‘creating’? And what does it have to do with the ego? How does it help in eliminating the Ego?

Happening is total surrender to what is. Judgement-free observation. Total acceptance. Zero doership.
While creating involves ego. Creation seeks approval; opinions and emotions go up and down with it.
One feels high and low with it.
Happening mode is when a higher power (indefinable Advait -consciousness) is accepted as the ultimate truth, and the definable personal Ego (an untruth) is surrendered.
Our misfortune is so vast that not only do we believe ourselves to be the only truth, but in the process, we also reject the higher existence.
When we get tired of our sufferings, we create a fantasy of God, as the doer, who “created” everything, and He will fix all our problems.
God becomes our personal solution to the self-inflicted sufferings we create, due to our Ego.
“I” am a doer, and so we picturize God also as a Doer and a creator. How silly are we?
We just can’t say that there is nothing out there, just the way we cannot say that there is no “I”.
Our ignorance is profound.
We need to start focusing on “happening”.
The world is happening, world events are happening, people are happening, and even we are happening, and there is no Doer.
How did we come into existence?
We never created ourselves, for sure, nor did our parents; they were just a conduit through which we HAPPENED.
At a grand scale, things and events happen.
Even thoughts arise naturally from interactions with the surrounding world, but they are not our thoughts, because there is no “I” (which is also a thought, our biggest mistake).
So, neglect the thoughts; there is no thinker.
Practice awareness and be a witness to the body and the mind with its emotions and beliefs.
Happening also means a process.
A process keeps going on, as we see everywhere.
The changes keep happening, but no one is making them happen.
It’s life energy itself, dancing and manifesting in myriads of forms.
An individual form is also the consciousness, just the way every bangle is gold only.
Realizing this and letting the Ego lapse, one realizes that there is no Ego; only there is oneness connecting us all.
When there is no Ego, and we are only the awareness witnessing this beautiful dance of life, Ego-driven highs and lows disappear (as Shilpaben said), and life becomes a perpetual joy.
Birth is a blessing, and so is death; it’s all consciousness; that’s the total acceptance.
In fact, there is no birth, and there is no death; it’s the birth and death of the Ego (ignorance); the sooner it dies, the better.
Resistance to this fact brings suffering, and acceptance of it dissolves the Ego and brings profound stillness within.
