There was once a learned scientist in India. He was always afraid of death.

After a lot of practice and efforts, he developed a formula and learnt the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to identify the reproduction from the original. One day while doing his research, he found that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen exact copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this Angel of death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven. But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw." The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, "Impossible! Where is the flaw?" "Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off. The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his ego & pride and hence lost his life. Now, Let us ponder on some of our ego too? Do I have it? What is it about? Why do I have it? What purpose does it solve? Whom does or will it affect? What consequence can it have within your organization/team/colleagues? What consequence can it have within your family and its members? How will your relationship get affected because of it? Do I know people or situations or events where people have fallen because of their ego? What can I learn from it? How can I overcome it? What do I need to do to "Let go The Ego"?

I sometimes ponder over the possibility of having a remedy for ego in the form of medical pills. Just like we have pills for headache or stomach ache, similarly if we had ego pills which would have us ego free Wow . A cure pill for ego or an ego free world . Our world would be so different no wars....no hatred a perfect world. The true meaning of ego is the sense of your individuality - the I or self of any person; a thinking, feeling, and conscious being, able to distinguish itself from other selves however people understand ego as exaggerated sense of self-importance. Humans are the most advanced forms of life species on this planet as they are the most intelligent beings compared to animals or any other life forms on Earth. What is the difference between humans & animals? Why are humans superior? I believe it is the thought process or the thinking ability of humans which has an intelligence quotient to it. However I get surprised by the behavior of humans sometimes On one hand we say that humans are the most intelligent life forms on earth and on the other hand, humans do the most stupid things. They have huge inflated egos displaying the I syndrome however they know very little about their own selves. If you ask the majority of the people and ask these questions, very few people know the right answers What is your favorite color? What type of person you are? Which is your best movie? Which one is your favorite song? What do you want in life? Plan for next 2 years and so on. People do not accept realities & live in their own world of fantasies as their egos do not permit them to accept the real world Why did someone say this to me? How can he say this to me? All these questions are the ignition or spark to ego creation Me is very important but we should not get carried away In my view ego should never be so high that you have excess pride nor should be very low that you do not have any self-esteem. it should be like salt neither high nor low just perfect for the right taste.. Day & NightMale & Female..Air & Water. Fire & Wind what is common between these elements Balance....... Balance creates life and imbalance destroys it.Choice is yourswhat do you want?
