Hello, I Am The Ego

Ajay Kalra introduces us to our core raison d'être our ego-which makes us believe that we are the doer. But when we try to look for it sincerely, it disappears!

Hello, I am the Ego. The voice in your head that keeps talking all the time.

"The dishes need to be cleaned."

"When will I ever learn!"

"What does he think of himself!"

"I am better off being on my own."

"I need to heal myself."

"I am working on myself

Yes, all these voices are me. Not just them, every single voice in your head is my voice.

I make you believe that you are a person. A character in the story of your life. That you were born on a certain date, and have a name, a body, and a mind. I make you believe 'I, the person, am real.' actually, I am just a voice in your head.

Like an operating system, I run different programmes. Most of these programmes I picked up when you were a child. These were things elders told you to do. I added "I must" in front of all these instructions.

"I must work hard."

"I must do the right thing."

"I must be loving and kind."

"I must be strong."

"I must not waste time."

"I must be successful."

Sometimes, they didn't say it. I just interpreted that if I behave according to these programs, I will get what I want. Which is mostly the love and respect of others.
