The ego deceives itself and deceives others
The student must accept the spiritual work of highlighting the
truth.
The ego, by its nature, hides error and does not admit its own limits; it
expands and feeds itself until it collapses!
It collapses under the weight of an unsustainable karma, nourished over time, under the
weight of the victory of truth, no longer able to bear the weight of deception and
therefore its suffering.
Spiritual people live in the truth and do not suffer!
It is necessary to work to acquire the true humility and discrimination that
allow one to admit error when it is exposed. Highlighted.
The student should feel relieved and grateful when his or her mistakes are highlighted.
The ego deceives itself, deceives others, and constantly finds
justifications!
In an ashram, an arrogant student felt he was the best and, by often pointing out the mistakes of others, extolled his own qualities.
One day, the truth about some of his serious shortcomings in service came to light,
and he could no longer bear his wounded pride and decided to leave
the monastery.
The spiritual path without truth feeds the ego and reinforces one's mistakes.
It is the path of lies that leads to failure!
Mature and sincere researchers seeking the truth accept comparison and
their way is fast and safe.
