Ego and Suffering
by Atman Nityananda
He who suffers and psychological pain (suffering) are the same energy that takes these two forms: the sense of ego (identity) and pain (in the form of anger, hatred, annoyance, guilt, jealousy, etc.).
The one who suffers, that is, the ego, is not a belief or imagination of the mind. It is vital psychic energy crystallized in the psyche. And this energy, when vibrated, creates psychological pain.
As long as this energy remains within us, there is no way to avoid psychological pain.
Theory, discussions and advice also cannot eliminate this energy in any way. Only diligent and unremitting practice can eliminate selfish energies and make the mind clear and focused.
Only the pure mind can perfectly reflect the peace and bliss we already are as Divine Consciousness.
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
