Man suffers only because of the ego, and to a degree ego is reduced, to the same extent you feel relaxed, you become very sensitive, and you become friendly to your surroundings. And when it is totally disappeared, you become one with the whole existence. Ego is the greatest barrier in the spiritual path. The moment you transcend the last and finest point of your ego, the last extremity of your “I” ness, you realize God. Nothing can stop you from universalizing into Absolute Brahman (the Supreme Being).
Irrespective of the method of meditation the Guru teaches you, it only leads to reduction of your ego eventually changing your outlook of the world. Your relation with your friends improves. Your degree of enjoying the joys of the world increase into deeper peacefulness and when through the spiritual practice, the ego is totally evaporated; your enjoyment becomes unlimited, unbounded, and perpetual. Come what may you will always remain stable and in a state of happiness eventually becoming liberated.
Chosen once are those who have taken shelter at the patronage of the wisdom of one’s own spiritual Master. The more you surrender the faster the ego evaporates. If there is some delicate or different point in the ego, the Master breaks it. But it is done only to those who surrender. Others can feel offended, they may lose faith and so only chosen once are worked on. This is mercy of the Master and God. If the Master does not do it, an astral yogi does it. Otherwise, God Himself does it.
Bhimsen
Bhimsen was one among such chosen once and Shri Hanuman worked on it in a very interesting way.After receiving benedication from Lord Pashupatinath in Nepal, Arjuna went to planet Svah to receive special education in archery and esoteric weapons.
The four brothers,Yudhisthira,Bhima,Nakul,Sahdev and the wife Draupadi, were waiting for him, residing in Badrinath on Nar Narayana hill of Himalaya.
One windy day, an extremely aromatic and beautiful, blue lotus flower the astral land of the Himalayas fell upon the flow of the river Alakananda, It flowed on,and when it reched near Pandava's ashram. Draupadi piked up. She was highly surprised and captivated by his beauty and perfume. She showed it to her husband and wanted some more similar flower. Bhimsen walked out, placing his dreadful mace in his shoulder, in search of the flower.He walked up the steep slopes and found a mysterious,deep silence.Since he was possessing ten thousand elephant power, being filled with ego, he was roaring again and again,echoing all around. It was so loud that his voice was echoing all over the hill and dales, valleys and jungles. It scared all animals and the elephants, boars and tigers started running towards the denser forest.
The whole of the Himalaya were like a playing field for Shri Hanuman. At this time He was sitting on one of the hills nearby,absorbed in the remembrance of that lotus-eyed,long armed, long-chested, Olympian King Shri Ram. His heart was full of joy, so much that he was unable to contain it, and His heart was overflowing in the tears. He heard the roar and realised why beasts were escaping. Although Shri Hanuman had not seen Bhimsen before, yet he knew that he was His own brother, born by the mercy of the Wind God at the end of the Copper age.
