hi all,

yes an enlightened person also has ego and its a very melow, intelligent and
refined form of normal ego, its called "self-respect". a yogi can
renounce
ALL the comforts but his self-respect is still there.

ego is basically arrogance which should be minimised

the concept of losing "i" actually means that you get to see and feel
being
part of The God (Omni-Present Energy). once you start living as a small part
of "HIM", you will get a part of "HIS" powers too. (which
by the way quickly
vanish if mis-used).

if you succeed in getting and keeping some of "HIS" powers, your
hunches
will always come true, your wishes to benefit others will start coming true.

your mere wishes will damage or destroy "anything" thats wrong....

i have experienced a tiny-lil-tiny-bit of those powers and the higher we go
the tougher is the responsibility of keeping EGO away, keeping CORRUPTION
away, keeping GREED away. but ONE MAIN FORMULA that helps here is the fact
that The God protects those who help others......so do not worry about
"your
bank balance level" when a deserving person asks for help,,,,
"God" is
always watching your actions and whatever you give others today is going to
come back to you "topped-up with blessings" from the soul you
helped.
AND....with BE GOOD ALL THE TIME if you take this path, there is no breaks
from goodness. you have to stay good and polite until someone really evil is
found hurting others.

ego, violence, lies, hurting etc is allowed By The God only if its
"Required" to destroy EVIL things and beings.

so until you are really fighting a "WELL JUSTIFIED WAR", you should
keep
ego, violence, lies and greed away from your life ALL THE TIME MAN.

the conclusion is simple too.....if you are not a really honest and true man
, do not try to awaken your Kundalini. it will destroy your brain and nerve
cells, leaving you insane, comatose, disabled or dead.

you have to be pure like spring water and you have to be willing to be
staying "Holy" when you take up your Kundalini. Holiness has to be
present at following 3 levels 1- thoughts, 2- speech & 3- actions.

if due to some reasons you can not do that then please stay away
from advanced spiritual practices such as Kundalini.

so finally, YOUR DUTY IS YOUR ONLY RIGHT, do not even think of the
results....IT IS *"HIS"* JOB

 THERE "is" a God.
