Ego


         By forgetfulness of the fact that man is a part of nature, everybody has developed self-pride; ego. Ego comprises of two main psychic moods: aggression and possessiveness. Aggression is the endless greed for power. Possessiveness is a mood to grab more and more material wealth. Only realization of Truth by enlightenment of consciousness will relieve man from the slavery of ego and its by-products of temperamental moods.

-Vethathiri Maharishi
