Cultivating Positive Ego (Audio)

[Music] you [Music] when the ego when the ego becomes animated by our awakened by true self or by the authentic self the ego is this is the structure is the structure through which the God consciousness shines through so so when the positive ego is animated by true self or authentic self the ego becomes a saatvik structure in this teaching I want to have the full the full aspect of enlightenment plus I want to be very realistic so my guru my guru hwl puja was very very enlightened man but if I said master where were you born he would say he was born in Lahore and let's say 1923 or whatever it was he was born in Lahore in 1923 and his his his ego his his frontal ego was still working but he knew that who he really was was the true self he knows his true name who I'm actually the true self but the true said the true self well in order to show up in the world of time and space the true self in order to show up in the world of time in space needs a vehicle through which to enter it and the sattvic ego becomes the vehicle through which the true self can enter into this world because for example Raul the true self can't enter into the world through the consciousness of a cow or the consciousness of a bird or the consciousness of a dog or the true self to enter into this world it needs a more complex self structure through which to enter so in that case we want to understand that the ego the positive ego becomes the healthy self structure through which the consciousness of Brahman can enter through the positive ego cell structure and enter into the world so the ego is just a vehicle it's not the self self is true self self is authentic self but it needs to travel it needs a vehicle so the vehicle is is the self structure through which the consciousness of Brahman enters into the world Brahman needs the cell structure in order to show himself the Brahman needs a self structure in order to show himself otherwise he won't be able to appear in the world so but we but but the Brahman will not reveal itself through him through a negative ego there has to be a sattvic surrendered ego surrendered submitted surrendered and submitted ego creates the the space or the portal or the opening through which Brahman or true self can enter into the a can enter into manifestation so this is why for example when someone is interested in moksha if if they're full of problems do you know if they're full of fear they're full of doubt and they're full of anger and they're full of resentment and a full of shame they're full of aggression there won't be any Brahman consciousness coming through that cell structure no Brahman consciousness will be coming through a cell structure that's it that's obsessed by fear anger shame aggression doubt in awe and fear etc so this all the self structure has to be has to be saatvik and health has to be a has to be a healthy state of integration which creates the openness in the space through which Brahman can appear but once again the ego is not the self the ego is just the structure through which the actual true self reveals itself but when the positive ego becomes full or animated by filled up by animated by the consciousness of the true self the duality disappears the duality disappears and then the positive ego is just it's just a supportive structure through which Brahma the non duality Brahman can reveal itself I'm saying that the that the positive ego is essential if we want if we want to experience Brahman consciousness if we want to awaken to Brahman consciousness then we must change our ego from negative to positive we must change our you go from negative to positive because if we want to know Brahman Brahman won't show himself to us won't reveal himself within us if we are attached to fear doubt anger resentment and victimization there won't be any brahmin won't won't go there so if andrew is full of fear and anger and resentment and victimization andrew needs to let Danny let go of all those things and turn his ego from negative to positive I can do that I had the power to change I have the power to let go of all those net all that negativity and when I let go all that negativity brahmand then will reveal himself decide and are the practice of the sodden of a spiritual Solomon or the spiritual work is isn't largely about letting go of negativity now letting go of wrong thinking letting go of doubt letting go of narcissism self-obsession wrong beliefs and for example you know one of my in my teaching I tell people to practice having nothing knowing nothing and being no one for example now having nothing knowing nothing and being no one having nothing knowing nothing and being no one to be free means to have nothing to know nothing to be knowing though so this state this repeating those words to be free means to have nothing no nothing and being uh being no one purifies the ego correct it purifies the ego from negativity it purifies the ego of attachment it purifies the ego from belief in itself and this creates a saatvik space it creates a saatvik space through which Brahmin can appear so but also understand role that the ego is just a structure it's not it's not the self when we when we when we have no moksha and there's no motion there's no consciousness of luck should we believe in our ignorance in our Abe a Vidya that the ego is the self we don't see that the ego is not the self is only a structure that's ignorant to a Vidya when we will but when we gain knowledge or Vidya Brahma Vidya we sui sui' we realize we glimpse we see that the ego is just a filter the ego is just a structure it's not the South that the self is that's when we realised the ego is not who I am I am consciousness I the feeling of I the feeling of I am the feeling of I the feeling of I am if we observe Vedanta tells us to do realize that I I am the feeling of I is consciousness itself and consciousness exists prior to the ego structure know the we but we need to take to take the step from negative ego to positive eco- you got to put negative you got to positive ego so brahman will be able to reveal himself [Music] you [Applause] [Music] you
