Q: Guruji, What is subtle ego, and how does one overcome it?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Subtle
ego is when you have the feeling that ‘I have no ego’. When you feel
that ‘I am the most down-to-earth and humble person alive’, then that is
the subtle ego.
See, if you find that there is some ego in you, never mind, just keep it
in your pocket. If it is there, let it be there. It is alright. Why do
you want to get rid of it?
If you try to get rid of the ego, then that will become another big
problem for you. Because then you will say, ‘See, I have overcome my
ego!’ Then that is the subtle ego. You cannot overcome ego by destroying
it. Just be natural. Ego dissolves in the naturalness of your being.
