Transcending the Ego
- Spiritual growth requires transcending the ego's focus on "I, me, mine."
- True self is the witnessing consciousness, not the ego with its desires and identifications.
Observe, Don't Identify with Ego
- Avoid obsessing over your ego; learn to observe it without identification.
- Let go of resisting or clinging to feelings; just notice and tolerate them.
Serve the Present Moment
- Serve the present moment as a unique gift from God.
- Honor it, give it your full attention without resistance or clinging.
