How can you get rid of your ego, if your ego doesnt want to die

[Chives99]

It's paradoxical to want enlightenment when it requires giving up everything,. your idea of future happiness, liking of experience, your loved ones, your sense of who you are and what's coming next. Saying you are longing for enlightenment is like longing for the end of your life

@Chives99 except that which was never alive can never die

 

It's essentially getting rid of what you're not. Once you're fully naked - you have finally died and can start truly living as a result
