To my knowledge and as per the vedic sciences and also if one follows some of the storie of the History, it is ego that has created problems, specially if they are in the position of power, in general it can seen that as the number of years pass in that position, he/she may be tempted to believe that they are superior to others in all aspects, if there is any challenge comes they can not digest it. This is common phenomenon in the world. The moment the ego starts building up, so as tempers raise, problems get aggravated. You may be aware that this leads to authoritarian/autocratic style of functioning, then once this reaches high temperatures, people revolt even intellectuals start revolting for the restoration of democracy. This sort of behaviour is quite common among the people, this is what that was described as evolution theory ( life cycle) in Vedas.

I take it this ego as Energy GOes out of the body, if one wants to be tuned better not to be egoistic. ( after corrections)

If any body wanted to understand the purpose of the ego, it is only the property that annihilates races, regions, religions, sects, subsects and revamps this entire earth from those who have ego. This is the propert of the nature which creates illussions in the minds of those who feel they are great and they can not be conqueered. For your kind information this is the root cause of the most of present health problems that human kind is facing like blood pressure, diabetics, mental disorders, heart attacks at the early ages etc.

From a Buddhist perspective, they do not ultimately say that the ego is negative, they ultimately assert that it fundamentally does not exist. For when we search for that object which we designate as “Ego,” it cannot be found anywhere, for that which we are searching for is neither different from its constituent parts nor the same as its constituent parts. The ego is then a conventional designation, but one that does not ultimately exist. In this sense, Buddhists assert that the ego or the self has no inherent existence - it is a mental construction that we have come to believe in since beginningless time due to the three root poisons of Desire, Hatred, and Ignorance (of the nature of consciousness). By continuing to believe that such a thing fundamentally and concretely exists we maintain a sense of separateness which fixes us firmly in Samsara (the Round of Rebirth, the world of Illusion). From the Buddhist perspective, emphasizing that the ego exists creates a false dichotomy between the ego (the subject) and that which is non-ego (the object). Because there is no ultimate subject, they then in the same way assert that there is no ultimate object. In this way, a resolution of sorts may begin to be approached - however, it must be remembered that even the notion of a Thing which is “resolution,” be it a state of consciousness, a place, an understanding, etc. does not inherently exist either. No Path. No Goal. No Attainment. We are left with a non-affirming negative - a great openness which is no Thing at all. Do we call It God? Do we call It Suchness or the Selfless? Some have. Some have said nothing at all.

Dear Mr Enoch Tan,

Your article is good to read. The points raised about EGO are not that true. The main purpose of Spiritual practice is for self discovery and self analysis to go towards self reliability and self conscience, these in scientific terms we can call as self critical analysis of what we do. If one has ego it aggravates the problem. Mind will start comparing and it becomes a relative term. Ego is not self, self is the soul which runs the body and mind. In scientific terms all the body mechanisms are controlled or triggered by the mind. Most of the spirituality practices are for controlling the mind, which otherwise deviates from the path of virtually. The attributes what you have mentioned as “When you learn Secret Knowledge of The Universe and Answers to Life Greatest Mysteries, you can have Wealth, Power, Freedom and Anything you want! Visit the site: Secrets of Mind and Reality”. are all materialistic aspects non of them we can take along with us even the body can not be take with us while we perish. Then what for we are living. If we can nor make humanly relationships, live peacefully, harmoniously and how serene conditions prevail on this earth.

Ego is one of the route cause of the most of the problems that we are facing on this earth, next is ignorance. Ego generates arrogance most of the times the people who have this lead to autocratic style. Inability to learn at any age bring ignorance, this coupled with ego makes one to take erroneous decisions.
