Why is it so difficult to drop the ego?
The perception of ‘easy’ or ‘difficult’ depends on your state of being. Generally it is difficult as our whole life’s journey hinges on ego trips. We want to be rich Why? Not for fulfilling our basic needs. Ego wants us to be richer than others. We want power. Not for contribution but because we want to feel better than others. We want to be different. Ego continues to seek more of name, fame, money, prestige and sometimes religiousness.
Running after the ego’s wants is like chasing your own shadow. By understanding this, life will be liberating.
Our sufferings have come through our ego and our pleasures have also come through our ego. Pleasures are deceptive. Our sufferings are an illusion. Learn to be a witness to your pleasures. You will see a self that is above joy and sorrow. In fact, you can see and experience a self that is above joy and sorrow. More than an experience, it is an experience-less experience.
