The Hurting Of The Ego (Part 1)
Almost everyday or every second day we come across a situation when someone says something to us which is not very pleasurable or we chose to perceive it to be so. In either case, we feel insulted and get upset as a result. In some cases we react and display our feelings. In some, we don't. In either case, the result is a depreciation (decrease) in our happiness index. Why does this happen? It's because you have created, attached to and identified with an image of yourself in your mind that does not match with how the other sees or perceives you, as a result of which you believe you have been insulted and you get upset.
As long as people's perception of you matches the image that you have created inside your mind of yourself, you are content with them, but as soon as the opposite happens, even if it is to a very small extent, you become disturbed, because you are attached to that image. The more the attachment, the greater the hurt, the disturbance or reaction. You could examine this phenomenon very closely, taking place inside yourself everyday. This kind of attachment mentioned above is called ego. That's why the phenomenon explained above is called in common language the hurting of the ego.
In tomorrow’s message, we shall explain this phenomenon further with an example.

Message for the day 02-12-2018
-----------------------------------------
Swing in the swing of happiness and all labouring will finish.
Checking:In all that you do throughout the day, check if you are enjoying each and everything that you are doing. If you do find anything difficult, check if it is because of your own thinking or if the thing is really difficult.
Practice: Each morning take a thought, ‘I will do my best in all that I do and I will enjoy each and everything that the day demands of me. Today nothing is difficult for me.’ Practice in this way and all difficulties will finish.
