Ego

One of the biggest reasons why egoism is your enemy is that it keeps you out of touch with reality. Your egoism is what prevents you from hearing the true feedback from others. Egoism makes you overestimate your own abilities and worth, and under-estimate the effort and skill required to achieve your goals

Keep your Ego's in check
Are we dividing or we Unifying?
Self-Purification should be the prime focus

A short clip explaining nicely on dropping down the egoism.. how lighter our body becomes and joyful when the wall of egoism is dropped, that’s when the human consciousness gets connected to supreme consciousness

Many of us focus only on "I" or full of Self-Importance which eventually gets in trouble that our  super-EGO which not only spoils our relationships, but breaks the families, and friendship. Remember the baseless arguments stop our focus, personal growth, and success.

One has to be wise, thorough gentlemen or gentlewomen keeping the ego away.

Some of the practical Tips in lowering our bad EGOism, to stay healthy and human:

1.
*Do not judge the people. Simply accept as they are.
*Don't hurt others, don't show superiority, instead be a helpful leader. Be a good human in guiding self as well as others to the righteous path of (dharma, truthfulness).
*Everyones view, perceptions are at different level of understanding...as they may not be aware of everything, so do not discard them.
*Practice Empathy and Simplicity. (Treat others how you want to be treated. Don't become the victim of EGOism. Be nice to self and to others)
*Take deep breaths whenever you feel like getting anger or ego entering into you. just BREATH.

---> My meditation allowed me to let go*

Be happy for their achievement.. take it as an inspiration, and think what WE can do to contribute for the development, and upliftment. Always encourage others for their good work and well being. Bless all the living beings on the planet to live freely, happily, and safely. Be Vegans!

Divine principles in service to Humanity (by DMS):

*Keep your mind clean and free from any anxiety/ ego. Be open to any type of criticism from others.

*Construct a temple in your heart through Prayers. The materials required or this Temple will consist of Humbleness, Humility, Compassion, Forgiveness, deep Faith in God, Honesty, Integrity and Meditation without attachment to any Religion - Be Religious but not a Religion-fanatic.

*You should feel Happy looking at other's Happiness. But if you feel happy looking at other's sufferings it is Evil. Never entertain this in your mind, for it will ultimately lead you to Evil Acts.

*Extend Love and affection without any Expectation from others.

*Never permit Jealousy to encroach into your relationship with others for it defeats the very purpose for which the relationship is intended. Jealousy is just like a shadow of your character. It always represents negative attitudes. Remember at least the shadow has dimensions. But Jealousy does not have any dimension. Remember, it destroys your happiness and peace and then the happiness of others.

*Never entertain Anger. It destroys your peace of mind, creates insanity, annihilates the fine fiber of your character, and oscillates your line of justice.

*Never give way to persuasion. Because under the pressure of persuasion, even the worst sins can be justified.

*Always temper your Authority with Love, Affection, and Mercy. In the absence of these, any Authority is a tyranny.

2. What happens in the office, remain in office. Never take office gossips to home and vice versa.

3. Enter office on time, leave on time. Your desktop is not helping improvement in your health.

4. Never make Relationships in the workplace. It will always backfire.

5. Expect nothing. If somebody helps, feel thankful. If not, you will learn to know things on your own.

6. Never rush for a position. If you get promoted, congrats. If not, it doesn't matter. You will always be remembered for your knowledge and politeness, not for your designation.

7. Never run behind office stuff. You have better things to do in life.

8. Avoid taking everything on your ego. Your salary matters. You are being paid. Use your assets to get happiness.

9. It doesn't matter how people treat you. Be humble. You are not everyone's cup of tea.

10. In the end nothing matters except family, friends, home, and Inner peace.

Breathing Helps:

• If you feel overwhelmed, breathe. It will calm you and release the tensions.
• If you are worried about something coming up or caught up in something that already happened, just take deep breathe. It will bring you back to the present.
• Take a deep breath 10 times inhale, exhale only from left nostril by closing your right nostril.. and within a minute you will come out of anger and anxiety.
• When you return to your anxieties, ego, and fears … these emerge from the mind unbidden, just as all your thoughts do. They are temporary conditions, like clouds passing. They aren't of any consequence if you just notice them, acknowledge them, let them move on.
• You return to the breath, and the anxieties are forgotten for a second as you see the breath. When the self and its fears, and desires and anxieties and urges return, then you go back to the breath and they are gone.
• If you are moving too fast, breathe. It will remind you to slow down and enjoy life more.
• Breathe, and enjoy each moment of this life
