Aham taking association with an identity, creates the ego,

the individual entity

 

Child is just without ego, without an identity, though he cries, gestures, moves, asserting his existence and seeking fulfillment of its little needs like food and comfort etc

 

Slowly gradually he comes to know the world, and starts assuming various roles as he grows

he thinks he is child, the son of mother, student, friend, playmate, belonging to a community , relative of so and so, then further, when grows , a doctor, a artist, a teacher, a employee , a citizen, and so on

 

these identities cover his real nature. He starts living those identities and strengthens them too, to an extent that he becomes a prisoner of his id's .bound unable to come out

Loses freedom, loses opportunities to lead a real life, loses the great game of life, loses life

 

It not, identifies with the outer world, but with one aspect of/ or a few aspects of own total personality, mostly it goes with a name and linked with biodata

i am gopal, i am a marati, i am a lawyer,

the tendency is to reinforce that one or few identities, ignoring the infinite aspects of his potentialities

 

eg as a lawyer, he may ignore the artist aspect etc

 

also,

 

as one reinforces that identity, say an artist, he grows to a greatest artist--this is positive aspect of the identities

name and fame thus help and unhelp such celebrities

 

the need is not to be associated with one / few , but to ever refreshing oneself , get born again as a new child , with a clean slate

 

as the refreshing phenomena happens continuously, one rises into his deeper unmanifest personality, ie, the rishi aspect , and grows to maharishi, brahmarshi, which means, an individual without his earthly identity / existence, but the real true nature the just awareness/ knowingness, with all potentialities alive and can be activated at will and can be lived as a man of ''bahumukha pragna'', as if an actor who is expert playing any role impeccably

 

also, such personality can express his message which has many/ infinite hues meanings, imports channels simultaneously , making him a ''panditha paamara jana ranjaka at the same time in one stroke

 

so the art of id's is

 

born as no id

acquires id

discards/comes out limiting id

becomes capable of assuming any id as per context, with all freedom

and again discarding that id and get refreshed into non id

 

1 any ego id miniaturizes the infinite personality if growth is stuck up on the way, ends up as miniature small ego , man dies as a just ordinary common fellow with small little achievements

 

2 if the same ego id is allowed to grow, --if one knows how to make it grow----then that small ego/id can grow to infinite stature like a vishvaroop --ie with a roop ---as big as the universe

artist can grow into a genius ravi varma and more ,

scientist can grow into Einstein and more

politician can grow into a world statesman and more

human can grow into an avathar

 

To sum up

ego is both blessing and harm

 

one must be a master who can easily change/remove one robe and wear another robe

all with own will and freedom

 

with this if one is given a name as vishvanath, he can grow / he is meant to grow really as lord of universe

if one is given the name as shiva, he can grow/ he is meant to grow really as lord shiva
