ego

Ego is the wall between us and God. Many spiritual practices' goal is to remove this wall. Following two are such practices:

  • Being grateful and being aware of God's blessings at all times. This helps us realize, everything we have is His and due to His Grace.
  • surrendering ourselves to God's will (Hukum). Total surrender is the same as egolessness.
