How can I transcend my own negativities?

Q : Pranam Gurumaa! Will I be able to drop my ego in this lifetime? I m burning in the fire of my own ego, I am burning in the fires of krodha, lobha, moha, irshya. It is so painful that I have tears in my eyes. I can watch when I am being the victim of these "vikars". I am helpless... Gurumaa, please help me. Pranam.

Answer

Sandeep, it is wise of you that you can see you have the fire of kama, krodha, ahankara & jealousy in your mind and you are troubled because of that. But there is no need to be troubled, just accept it that you have these negativities in your mind & you have to learn to grow dispassion(vairagya) in you & you have to understand that life is flitting, running from our hands and soon the “d” day would come, the death day would happen to us. Why waste our time? What would you get? We came naked and helpless in this world & when you die, you are again not going to take anything with you.

So watch the fun of fighting with people and doing all the wrong things to earn more things & more money. You have to accept this and ponder on it more & more. I would suggest, do not fight with this “vikar” and do not say that you are a victim of your own “vikar”. You have created these vikars in your mind, you are not happy with them. Then you have to learn the ways & means to eradicate these vikars, which you can easily do.

But the question is this that are you ready to come out of your own vikar, may be it is an ego trip for you to be in this because that is what is making you become more competitive with others and you are enjoying this competition by putting others behind you. Maybe for some time, get my meditation called ‘urja’. Do it everyday, throw out all the negativities; it would help to do catharsis. Once you do purge these negative energies, then you will be able to understand and think correctly.
