Q: How we can utilize our ego? Is it possible? And what is the difference between self respect and ego?

A: Well, the only utilization for the ego is that you kill the ego & allow the real self to come on the surface. And the difference in-between self respect & ego is this that sometimes egoistic people use the word self-respect to hide their ego & sometimes great words are needed to camouflage our negativities because if you know something then there is no room or space to make a claim & say “I know it”, “I know it”. This “I know it, I know it” is the ego.

The one who knows how deep ignorance is laying in one’s own mind can never become an egoistic person. So just look in your mind, if you have a feeling that you know everything or lots of things, then definitely all these feelings are being supported by your ego. And if in your mind you see that there is so much to learn, there is so much of darkness which is lurking in the depths of the mind, I believe you would be on a right path then.
