by Atman Nityananda
Two of the most effective (if not the most effective) means of eliminating egoic tendencies from our psyche are Prayer and the Mantras of the names of God.
To achieve this we must
- First Being vigilant and aware of the inner silence by repeating a Mantra.
- This goes together with remaining as a witness and dettached observer of thoughts, emotions, impulses and sensory impressions as well.
- Noticing and Observing whatever arises in our Psyche (as soon as possible), avoiding identification or stoping the identification by getting rid of the attraction and seduction of thoughts and emotions exert on us using a method (there is a variety of methods to succeed in it).
- Dissolving the energy of egoic tendency through a prayer to the Divine power and the repetition of a mantra of God’s Name.
This is the Best method to purify our mind heart and dissolve the egoic tendencies.
By being centered in the inner silence we can avoid identification with the mental and emotional formations that manifest almost constantly in our Psyche, we can manage them and let them go or make them subside and through prayer and the power of the mantra weaken them, diminishing the energy of the egoic tendency (desire, emotion, etc.).
