Me and My Dedication
At dawn... a Brahmin sage is performing aritual in the holy fire... surrounded by his 500 disciples... sacred mantras are being chanted and its echoes spread all over the place, a pious and holy atmosphere is created and the fragrance of the holy fire is spreadin all directions and at that time one could see all the heavenly Gods and Goddesses proceeding downwards. How delightful would the entire scene would be?
The Brahmin sage was busy in his holy task... surrounded by his devotees and 500 disciples... it was really a divine atmosphere. The sage thought that even the heavenly Gods are getting attracted towards this holy fire. At that moment what else must be going on in the Brahmin's mind? He believes he is the most intelligent pandit on this earth, that not only the earthly humans, but also the heavenly Gods are fascinated by his knowledge!!!
A man's surroundings help in increasing his ego. Man's ego is at bay when he is alone... but when he is surrounded by people, his number of followers increases, people begin to listen to him and follow his orders and also start appreciating him, his ego swells and he begins to fly in the air.
A soul has no ego...when soul gets a body...and if the body appears beautiful, immediately the soul's ego take birth. If he has beautiful eyes, lovely hair or a melodious voice or anything else that is beautiful, he feels proud.
Come on, let's do something practical. Close your eyes and walk down to that opposite door and come
