Trap of Ego

After achieving all that we want in this worldly life, we never get fully satisfied with every aspect of our life. Lasting happiness and fulfillment remains far away from us. The thoughts of ownership and doership assemble to make our ego, which is generally precursor of pride and quite akin to our identification in the society. This ego separates us from rest of the world and consciousness as well as greater consciousness.

Even if all the 'If onlys' of our life and all the wishes of a particular moment are fulfilled and materialized, happiness can not be guaranteed. All the implements and sources of happiness gradually become source of depression. Those who search happiness in money, property, possession, investment or portfolio are pray to rude awakening of future making them deplorable.Wealthy are lonely and suspicious, fame of great people, when they stop delivering at a certain stage, makes them very unhappy.Those who love you let you down, leaving you more unhappy.Stimulants and recreations leave you mentally and physically weak and sick. Money in due course looses its value ,bankers do not remain trustworthy and security proves farce. Unless we get rid of undesirable manifestation of ego and we are not stuck in our opinion and imagination, peace and fulfillment remain impossible for us. Let us come out of this rigid belief system and trap of ego. Relinquishing the need to control and judgement we can go beyond our ego. Ego; it is said that changes angels into devils and humility again makes them God. Jealousy and unhappiness are youth stages of ego.
