Paradox
The Secret Gift of Ego
In most eastern traditions ego is seen as the nemesis of moksha. It is commonly recognized as the root cause of all suffering that must be destroyed through intense practice in order to attain the coveted state of Nirvana or the stateless state of Turiya and beyond—the enlightenment that ends eons of suffering. But is this really true or is ego the great paradox of human consciousness? What if the ego is actually a gateway of illumination with the innate power to end suffering and open the floodgates of unalloyed happiness?
The nature of egoic identification is reflective consciousness. It is in and of itself a paradox—the root of all suffering and the gateway of salvation. But how can it possibly be both a barrier and a gateway? This satsang explores the true nature of ego revealing the secret gift with the power to catapult your consciousness into a new realm of direct realization.
