Understand Ego

Shouldn’t we let our egos drops?

Ego is just a habit, a habit of ignorance, unconsciousness – it will come back. Please don’t drop it!
Don’t feed it, don’t drop it, because in both ways you will be saving it. Just watch it, and you will not find it.

You are thinking as if ego is something that you are carrying and that you can drop. Ego is only an illusion, it is only an idea. It has not to be dropped, it cannot be dropped. How can you drop an idea?

For example, it is getting dark in the evening and on the road you see a rope, but it appears to you as a snake. Now, can you kill the snake? In the first place the snake is not there! Can you avoid the snake? In the first place the snake is not there. Can you be unafraid of the snake? In the first place the snake is not there, so all these things are irrelevant. All that is needed is a little light – just a candle will do – and you will see the snake has never been there. It was just an idea, an illusion, a projection.

The moment you find the rope, will you ask, “Now what to do with the snake? Should I drop it? Should I forget all about it?”

The moment you discover your being there is no ego found. Ego is only a projection: just as the snake is projected on the rope, ego is projected on the being. You don’t know the rope, hence the snake; you don’t know your being, hence the ego. Ego is not knowing your being; not being aware of your being is what ego is all about. So there is no question of dropping it.

But many people try to drop it, and the miracle is, they even succeed! They become humble. But humbleness is another trick of the ego, a very subtle trick – the ego has come from the back door – because to drop it simply means you have not understood it at all, so it is BOUND to come.

Don’t drop your ego! Understand it, be aware of it, bring the light of awareness and see – and you will not find it. You will not find it so there is no question of dropping it. DON’T DROP IT! If you drop it, it will come back in some other form. It cannot leave you – it is just an old habit of unconscious mind.
