51. Ego isn't your problem. Your delusion is the problem.

Enlightenment with Rishi Atma Bodha

Many people are, instead of fixing their delusions, deciding to spiritually bypass them. They do this by not recognizing their delusions, but instead declaring that it is all ego and that it is only by getting rid of this mysterious thing called "ego", that they can be happy and at one with the Universe.

Although their goal is admirable, through this approach of "ego dissolution" or "ego death", they sabotage themselves. They are sabotaging the one tool that can get them to enlightenment. It is not about throwing out this baby with the bathwater, but by getting rid of this dirty delusional bath water and replacing it with the nectar of Absolute Truth.

When you do this, your delusions can be eliminated, leaving behind a beautiful mind unencumbered by the limitations that were holding it back.

There is no such thing as ego, only your beautiful mind that is deserving of love. You can free your mind by getting rid of your self-limiting delusions. When you do this, your mind becomes a powerful and useful tool, an important ally in your aspiration of becoming One with the best in the Universe.
