Does being generous weakens the ego?

5 posts in this topic

Look at the purpose and motive of being generous.  Being generous can also strengthen the ego..."look at all I have done!"

There is no way to be selfless if there is the question "does it raise my consciousness?"

Just pay no mind to the personal "me"...the self.  As much as you are able...let go of yourself.  Whether in giving or not giving...don't make reference to yourself.  Whether in giving or not giving...it was not done for "you" (i.e. the ego).

If you really want to weaken the ego...really look at and investigate this "me"...the ego.  See it for what it really is.

How to be selfless??

Sit, be silent, and don't do anything with your mind.

Sit like a cat.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

be careful... the floor is slippery... being generous and selfless is also a form of ego. 

the only path is the path of integration. to recognise that one is equally as selfish as they are selfless.
