The Ego
Oct 1st, 2007
You see, you should never fight the ego. If you try to fight it, it will sit more on your head. That is not the way to fight it. That there is ego and you fight your ego - “Oh, I am going to box you” - then it will grow more, you see. The more you box it, the more it will grow. Never fight your ego. Only way is to see it! Your attention is very important. Your attention is now enlightened. Whatever you see, it comes to its right size. Ego, if it is overgrown - you just watch your ego. Best is to watch yourself in the mirror and say, “Mr Ego, how do you do?” Then it will come down. But do not fight it - just to be seen. All kinds of egos could be there. If you are over-educated, you are egoistical. If you are uneducated, you are egoistical, because you must show you are something. All sorts of egos are there.
Shri Mataji, 1985
