Ego

[Jo Kicch Hai So Tera Waheguru]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj time and time explains to us not to act in egotism because it is that which creates a barrier b/w us and meeting God (atma uniting with parmaatma). And also where there is ego the naam does not abide there as there is no association between the two. Its important to have the humility bowl.

Practising this through naam simran and selfless service is the best remedy as guru ji advises. Sometimes when you get caught up in too much sewa or vice versa and then you think ha! nobody greater than me and this in itself causes hunkaar.

Bani has told us that when everyone is to die why act in ego or take pride in oneself and one who does is a fool. Its so silly but I can find sometimes for the smallest things me getting all egositic and then when i think about how the Gurus delivered the "Dhur Ki Bani" (from God) not once did they say its theirs which puts me to shame.

Has anybody else had similar experiences they'd like to share?

Bhul chuk maaf
