Leggo My Ego 04/15/2010
 
Lately I’ve had lots of people ask me, “How do I get rid of my ego when doing spiritual work.” And the honest answer is… You don’t!

I just want to take a minute to set the record straight here. Ego is not a bad thing. Ego is a part of you as vital and necessary as your liver. Within your ego is the seed of your individuality, your survival instinct and your personal drive and ambition.

That said, you’ve also gotta understand that the ego is limited within its function. Just as the liver can’t do the job of the heart, neither can the ego do the job of the spirit.

The bottom line is this… stop trying to force the ego out and instead let it do its job. Allow your ego to be moved by spirit to bring your personal and unique expression of divinity in the world. In other words, let the ego be in service to the spirit and not the other way around.
