Is ego giving you completness? Or is ego itself a continuous feeling of being unwell. Of being incomplete and lacking and small and unworthy. How can a feeling of unworthiness give you worthiness. How can a feeling of incompletness give you completeness? Did you always have it? Were you born crying "I am incomplete. I am incomplete!" I have been trained to feel that I am incomplete. Is disease a pre-requisite to get healthy? In a deep sense, we all have been taught to hate ourselves. And the proof of that is we want to become something else. The child is so small and everyone is asking him "What do you want to become?" He is actually been taught to hate himself. Become something else; how can you remain like this? When you are tense, can you be very productive? When you are gripped with the fear of failing, can you read a book? Do you require really to feel short of something or deprived in order to live? So far, we have known only one engine of motivation, which is, we work hard when we are afraid. We run hard when we are threatened. Or when there is greed. Do they work for satisfaction or in satisfaction? These are two very different things. Yes, I acquire knowledge. Yes, I read books. But I read books because I feel already contended. Books can give me knowledge. But the books cannot give me the base of my being. Books cannot give me something so important and already present in me. There are these two ways in which one can live. Either keep deviating, keep deviating, and find that your time is up. Or live in a way that cures your deviations, that treats your tendencies, and you return to your default state. Every child is born with those tendencies. Also remember, that the seeds of fear and greed are present within every child. Children do get afraid. And children are greedy. And little ones can be very violent at times. Have you seen them killing insects? So the tendency is present, rest depend on the education, the environment, the upbringing. Whether that tendency becomes inflated or the story of your life or whether that tendency is cured. Suffering is not your nature. The proof of that is we don't like to suffer. Do you like to suffer? So suffering can't be your nature. And if you keep going by these latent tendencies, then you keep suffering more and more. Unfortunately, most systems man has devised around himself do not cure these tendencies. They fan these tendencies. So you already have it within you to feel greedy. And there are a thousand hoardings around you that are intended to make you more-and-more greedy. You already have it within you to become afraid and insecure. And there are 1000 voices around you that keep telling you that the world is bad and you must keep trying for security. So the combination of these two - the inherent tendency and the social input - is what is our constant headache. In every way, we are living a pre-defined path, a pre-scripted story. If you have been doing everything that is the norm, then you will also buy an insurance policy because that is the norm. Love cannot originate upon seeing an object. It is something that is pre-present. You cannot say, "I looked at her, and then love arose within me!" Ego means "I am incomplete" And attraction means that if I get that object, I will start feeling complete. That is not love; that is just ego. Am I so inferior that you must constantly tell me to grow up and progress? Am I so ugly that you are constantly telling me to make myself up and appear beautiful. Isn't make-up an insult? That's how the intelligent mind functions. The more someone humiliates you, the more regard you have for that purpose.
