To me, having ego is like drug addiction because it is so difficult to give up and it comes back easily. Surrender is the only way to get rid of ego. Enough of talking. Let's enjoy what Shri Mataji has to say. Just want to post this as She spoke this on my 5th birthday.
"Detaching from belongings. So, you know till the last end we are holding on to something very little there. If this, even a little bit holding the sari, you know that that can hold the whole sari. Even little bit is attaching to this sari, the sari can be held back. The whole thing you can hold it, with one little pin. All these small pins that are there, the hang-ups are to be denied, to be seen, going further. Look at yourself, ‘Oh, that’s Mr Ego alright. Now let me see how you go back.’ To see all those things. You see as a play you should see yourself. And then play tricks with your ego and superego. Actually, they are playing tricks with you. Once you are a master, you play tricks with them."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
