Who creates Ego?
It is no different from asking, Who creates the shadow?, the light
or the object?. The light is certainly not responsible for the creation of
the shadow. However, the shadow cannot be formed without the light and so
does not have any independent existence of its own. The object in respective
of its position to the light source is the cause of the creation of shadow.
If the object is far away from the light source, the shadow's length is
longer. The closer the object moves towards the light source, shorter the
shadow's length and once when the object and the shadow are in close
proximity the objects merges with the light.
Look
at the illustration given below. The shadow of the pyramid like structure is
longer when it is far away from the light source. The length of the shadow
decreases as it approaches the light source.
Ego similarly does not have any independent existence. It is just the shadow
in the presence of Pure Consciousness. Pure consciousness is not responsible
for the creation of Ego and at the same time, without Consciousness Ego does
not exist.
Without God or pure Consciousness, there is nothing, but God has nothing to
do with whatever is happening in this world. It is all the shadow play
of the Ego. This concept of God is confused vastly in all religions, however
spiritual traditions are very clear about it. Not understanding this concept
is ignorance and leads to all confusions, pain and suffering. All the
problems that we suffer are our own creation. We create thoughts with our
own free will and suffer from it. This is why from the beginning we have
been insisting on creating positive thoughts to create a blissful life.
God as a person is the creation of Ego for it to feel cozy and protected. We
will see how many disguises the Ego takes to protect itself. In the name of
God ego achieves to fulfill all its needs and wants. In the name of God, Ego
does not give up making discriminations and distinctions and take control
over other fellow beings and living beings. In the name of God, Ego
ruthlessly can harm and torture all beings in the world. In the name of God
it can kill spiritual traditions and inhibit the evolution. Through the mis-understanding
of the word God, Ego fuels all discussions, debates and war through which it
nourishes its own beliefs and concepts. Ego will eradicate any free thinking
that will go in the direction of the intellect and finally awareness.
