In this discourse, Om Swami answers the question - How to Overcome Ego?
At the core of it, Ego is energy. It is a response. Everybody has an Ego. If good things are said to someone they feel good, and if you say bad things they feel bad. But, if one is content within, then their mind doesn't focus on negativity as much. Our brains are hardwired towards negative bias. So much so, that even if someone says a hundred good things but one bad thing, our mind focuses only on the one bad thing. Signs of Ego are feeling hurt, angry, superior - When you feel any of these things, remember you are only human and it's ok to feel these things.
Listen to the full discourse to hear the golden rule for overcoming ego.
