Understanding the reality we find ourselves in can get rather weird, rather quickly. So, in this field of all possibilities, the most foolish thing that we can do is to light upon just one belief or notion about reality, then defend it to the hilt. Ego is that way. We are given certain identities when we are born, then we think all of that is real, simply because those confused people who came before us thought that was real, and for no apparent reason.
What is more important than that is to consider all that appears for yourself, discovering rather than believing lies that have been fabricated by so many, from innumerable generations. If we establish the motivation to awaken, then we are considering for ourselves the very most compassionate thing we can do. If we do that, thus entering the Spiritual Path, then ego gets tossed away at some point. For the first time in our lives, we begin to learn how to genuinely create benefit for all beings. We can’t do that by engaging in worldly concerns.
Blessings in Light,
