Sunday, September 4 2022 – Ego – Friend or Foe? – Nayaswamis Padma & Hriman

 

Padma relates that, up to a point, the ego is our friend, but as we turn to the spiritual path, we have to transcend it instead. As Yogananda wrote in his poem Samadhi, “Where I, the Cosmic Sea, watch the little ego floating in me.” To get there, we have to be present and aware of all details in this life, and yet careful not to spill a drop of our “spiritual oil”, our inner devotion and connection to God, as we do so.
