We usually refer to ego as pride.We can have pride of knowledge,power and wealth.We attribute all that we are and all that we have done to our own individual efforts.We think we are superior to others in many ways.
Pride of knowledge comes because of traps laid by the mind.When our soul enters the body,it works in this world through the mind.The brain is a complex organ that receives sense impressions from the world.Our culture makes us interpret these impression in a certain way.
Beside receiving and interpreting impressions,the brain is a vehicle by which we can communicate with the world through language,to make our thoughts
known to others.There are many involuntary actions controlled by the brain such as breathing,heartbeats and releasing the hormones that regulates the
body functions.
Many think that brain is the seat of thoughts.But there is a difference between the mind and brain.The brain is like a computer which performance many
functions.But it is the mind that controls the brain.The mind is the product of causal plane of creation,a mixture of spirit and matter.With the mind in
control,many of our decisions and actions are based on meeting the mind’s desire and wishes.Because the object of mind is to keep us enslaved to the
world,it controls us.The soul,having forgotten itself,goes along with the mind.
We go to school and gain knowledge of this physical universe.We are bombarded by sense impressions at every moment.Our brain has the capacity to
take in billions of bits of information,store and retrieve them,much like a computer.
World can be combined in billions of ways to create new stories,books,ideas new inventions.The notes of the musical scale can be combined in billions of
ways to create a wide variety of music.The mind can keep us occupied and involved in this world for very long time.
The mind has forgotten that the colours of the palette it uses to paint have been created by god himself.That the notes of the scale that it uses to compose songs are God’s own making.The brain it uses to communicate with the world is also a creation of God.
