Humility is a refined ego mask

There is only one way to be free from the I and that is to come to know the I so deeply that it appears to be a shadow and at that very moment u r freed of it.
That's why people practising humbleness can never reach to thou.
Humility is a refined form of ego. The more refined it is, the more dangerous it is and subtle too. Humility is an ornament of the ego, the most beautiful ornament ego can wear. Humility is a beautiful mask.

Thank u. Just now P keep on saying I m not humble. I put my name out as the lead, I only do planning work, don't want to do ground work. I was beginning to question my decision to lead Isha. As she indicates others won't follow me.
Anyway, had a good chat with L.
And now this msg said I m ok.

Humility is never straight forward. Infact when the ego wear no mask it is more simple and straight forward than humility. Bad men are more genuine and clear than good men because bad men are straight forward egoists, while good men are indirect egoists. Their ego is behind many layers - very refined and polished.
An ordinary ego is like uncut diamond. Good man ego is like cut diamond - polished and shinning. The sparkle in the ego is a poison.
Whether u polish ur ego or hide it or avoid it or try to escape it, u r not freed from it. Come to know ur ego, go within and recognise what the ego is. So don't be in a rush, don't make any judgements.

Soul
Thank U. Just now when P said I should be nothing, everything is from Sadhguru. I said I can't. I m not at that level.

U read in the scriptures that the ego is bad. This conclusion is not yours - it is in the scriptures. U don't even know what is this ego is; whether is good or bad can be decided on later.
U r unacquainted with what it is, u have not had even a glimpse of what it is but u will still have a conclusion about it.

"Anger is bad" is a conclusion taken from scriptures. From the scriptures u come to know everything that is good and bad, but still u remain the same as u r, eventhough u appear to know everything.

Knowledge which does not transform u is borrowed. Ur conclusions are not yours because ur knowledge is not ur own, it is not ur experience.

So, first know this I and as u come to know this I, it will disperse.

Soul
True. That's why I don't prescribe to teachings.
Just like the case with food. Everyone and everything can tell me meat is not good. But I don't care cos the knowledge is not from me. Only when I come to my own realisation, I changed my food diet. Not before. I m not a hypocrite.

Father, thank U for putting me back up. Amen
