Retreat Post 6 – Why Can’t We Renounce the Ego - (598)

Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes

I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.


Reason Why

The reason why we can't renounce the ego is because we give it so much value and a real (for us) function. We can't do without it. We think anyway!


Conclusion

The key in conclusion is to find out how much value we give the ego we can not renounce and also find out its function which we consider as real and very valid in living our life.

For example, we give lust a function in our life and because we give it a very important, real, valid and tangible function for living our life, namely making our life more pleasurable and exciting we find it almost impossible to live without.


End (598).
