Short Prayer to dissolve the egoic tendencies
by Atman Nityananda
We can dissolve the ego moment by moment by remaining alert, vigilant and aware of ourselves (of the silent space within), by avoiding identification with the mental and emotional reactions and by applying some kind of power or method, for example, a prayer, a mantra or a name of God.
Whenever we notice a tendency (lust, anger, fear, jealousy, or whatever) manifesting in us we gather attention within ourselves and enter as deeply as possible into the inner silence at the center of our existence and being aware of the tendency, we say from our heart:
‘O Divine Mother (you can also pray to Jesus Christ, or to God, etc. ) eliminate this energy of anger (shame, guilt, or whatever is), or freed my mind from the anger energy and permeate me with light, peace and love. ‘I am peace, love and light’, ‘I am peace, love and light‘, ‘Everything is peace, love and light‘, ‘Only peace, love and light exist’, ‘Ooommm ‘peace, love and light, ‘Ooommm peace, love and light’, Ooommm, Ooommm, Ooommm’. As we say these words, we deepen the contact with the silent presence within us. I emphasize that is very important feeling what we say (not simply saying dry words) and being deeply aware of our inner silence as well.
If necessary we repeat the prayer a few times and we can also use a mantra for the same purpose such as “Om Hriim, Sriim, Kriim Durgaye Namaha”, ” Om Hiring Nama Shivay”, ” Om Sri Jesus Christ Namaha”.
Another way to do it is the following
Divine light, love and healing energy permeate my whole being and eliminate this energy of anger (shame, guilt, or whatever is) or cleanse my mind and heart from the anger energy and permeate me with peace, love and light. ‘I am peace, love and light’, ‘I am peace, love and light‘, ‘Everything is peace, love and light‘, ‘Only peace, love and light exist’, ‘Ooommm ‘peace, love and light, ‘Ooommm peace, love and light, Ooommm, Ooommm, Ooommm’. As we say these words, we deepen the contact with the silent presence within us. I emphasize that is very important feeling what we say (not simply saying dry words) and being deeply aware of our inner silence as well.
The defense mechanisms of ego prevent us from being aware of the play of the various egoic tendencies but in course of time (if we continue to practice systematically, regularly and diligently) we will overcome all obstacles and ego’s resistance.
Eliminating the ego or the I, what remains is pure love, unfathomable peace, infinite bliss.
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
