The Fear Of The ego Suffering

Add as a preferred source on Google

Fear of the ego suffering is also the reason why people get afraid when they go into meditation. When you go into meditation, there is always the fear of losing yourself – to Existence, to the Existential Energy that is surrounding you. So you hold on. You resist meditation. Instead, if I tell you to chant something, you will happily chant. There will be no fear.

Your ego is so afraid that it will dissolve. If it dissolves, all the labels with which you identify yourself will also dissolve. This is too much for your ego. You become nobody! So you resist and remain somebody at least to yourself. This resistance is purely the fear of your ego. You are so scared of becoming vulnerable, of becoming porous.
