A small extract – thanks to shri Sharad Shah, Ahemdabad.
========================
I KNOW YOU WANT US ALL TO RID OURSELVES OF OUR EGOS AND MINDS, AND IN MY CASE, I KNOW THAT THIS IS VERY NECESSARY, BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO WILL BE RETURNING TO THE WEST, WOULD NOT A TOTAL ABSENCE OF MIND OR EGO MAKE LIFE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT?
………..
Prem Joyce,
WHEN I SAY, “DROP THE EGO, DROP THE MIND,” I don’t mean that you cannot use the mind any more. In fact, when you don’t cling to the mind you can use it in a far better, far more efficient way, because the energy that was involved in clinging becomes available. And when you are not continuously in the mind, twenty-four hours a day in the mind, the mind also gets a little time to rest.

As long as one is living –
One Self can not live without Ego or mind.
But,one can be Humble,Kind and loving .
Thus become selfless….. understanding who am I ?
Very effective direction in small package. Fasting(not hunger) definitely has some effect on ego and hence mind.
I agree with Chiragbhai. I hope to do more fasting and it does help for sure.
“abhiman” and “swabhiman”
difference is very little but when difference is understood and carefully observed, a miracle can be observed.
