Q191. Why you must lower your ego?

When we die, the mind, intelligence, and false ego, take us (the soul) to our next body. So, in this life, develop a good mindset, develop higher spiritual intelligence, and lower your ego. This will take you to a better life after this one. Then eventually back to the spiritual manifestation where everyone has ZERO false ego. To go to the spiritual manifestation, one must have ZERO false ego. False ego is mentioned in many verses of the Bhagavad-Gita.

A person with high false ego thinks as follows: • • • • • • • •

I am great, and you are not I am clean and everyone else is dirty Only I am good, and all others are bad I know everything, others know nothing I am better than others I am sinless, and others are all sinful I am rich, and all others are poor I deserve the best and all others deserve the worst

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

I am best, and all others are the lowest I am the best looking, and all others are ugly My house is the best, and all other houses are bad I am the most educated, all others are lowly educated I am God God is only close to me Only I am a devotee and all others are not devotees I am the greatest devotee I am high, and all others are low I can do anything I like I am in control of everything, all others have no control I am the master and all others are my servants My way is the best way My way is the only way I am the most intelligent, and all others are dumb

You must give up all the above thoughts and think and behave like the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant… “One who does not hate anyone, is friendly and compassionate to all living beings, shares his belongings with others, has no sense of ownership, free from ego; even-minded in both happiness and distress, forgiving, tolerant in all situations, always satisfied, worships Me with determination and devotion. Such a person is very dear to Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 12.13-14)
