Amen to that, thanks for sharing Amma.

A lot of my thoughts have been on ego tonight too- in terms of things and people. Sometimes it feels like everybody's using somebody- people want what they don't have. When they get it they put it in their closet and move on to the next thing, chasing illusory happiness- and they do the same with people.

Amma is right to say we can find joy by cultivating discipline within- rather than relying on things outside our selves to provide happiness. And to add, a way is made apparent to us when we truly begin to work on our selves. I struggle with this, but when am following a particular path(which is also evolving) one geared towards self-reliance, I am able to see the next steps- feel a sense of purpose and instead of feeling lost I am happy and confident.

Even if Ego peeks its way back in- and where I'm at in life it surely will, it is not my enemy. I understand the joy of existing outside my self but also within my self.

Her call echoes the call of every Guru- because it is One Guru.

Self peace for earth peace.
