GREETINGS

Swamiji:

Ego is not a bad thing. There is a good component to your “i”ness and a petty or selfish component to your “i”ness. What you want to get rid of, is this pettiness. We often look at a situation as “what is in it for me” and react accordingly. Instead in every situation, think “what would Bhagavan want to happen in this situation” and do it. Now even after doing it with best intentions, sometimes outcomes are not as we expect. In such situations, back off and say….let the will of Bhagavan happen. This does not mean you shy away from your responsibilities, act like a coward, or avoid doing things you have to do. It only means having the right intentions, doing things to the best of your ability and letting go of the results. Then only prasadabudhi remains. At that level, no one can hurt you….because you don’t assume ownership on anything you do. Hari Om.
