Swamiji, we are always looking to achieve something in life. Is this also a play of our ego?

Yes, of course! You have come to the point. When you think that life has got a purpose and run behind the purpose, you are being egoistic. When you realize the beauty of Existence and flow with it, and understand that Life itself is the purpose and all goals are just illusions, then you have acquired awareness; then you are no more egoistic.

A Master is the one who makes you understand the 'purposelessness" of life. When you search with a purpose, you miss reality, because when you run behind the purpose, you miss the present. You simply miss Existence.

When you realize the purposelessness of life, a new consciousness starts blossoming in you. You will then understand that the diamonds that you were protecting all along are mere stones. You will understand that the things that you thought were great, are mere toys. You will understand that money is not the real bliss that you are seeking. You are seeking beyond it.
