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
