Every religion tells you to get rid of your ego, but the “one” to whom the religions tell to get rid of the ego— is the ego! The ego is told to get rid of the ego! But the ego is not going to commit suicide. Therefore the question really is, Who created the ego? That the ego has to be got rid of— agreed. But who created the ego? You didn’t create the ego. Where could the ego have come from? Where could it have come from except from the Source! Whether you call that Source Consciousness or Primal Energy or God or Awareness makes no difference, so long as you understand that it is the Source— One without a second.
