Ego or Soul?

Ego: the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity; a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

There is no worse feeling than that surge of envy/jealousy/spite/bitterness when your "ego" feels wronged. We've all had the misfortune of feeling that from time to time. Some of us can recognize what is happening and rise above it. Those who are unaware will dive head first into the ugliness of it.

What I know for sure is this: if you are on the receiving end of envy etc., let it go and if you are the one who is filled with envy etc., let it go. Nothing good comes from harbouring anything to do with negativity. All you do is clog the channels for where positivity needs to enter.

“Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinker. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.” ― Eckhart Tolle
