Outgrowing Our Individuality
"Surrender arises from helplessness.
Helplessness provides the opportunity
for you to release your ego.
The ego makes you feel important,
but a hopeless situation makes you realize
you are nothing and will not be free
unless you give up the sense of I.
This realization dawns
when you experience the burden of the ego.
Only a great blow or a serious threat
can bestow this knowledge.
***
The difficulty is not expressing love
but letting go - outgrowing - the ego.
Love is human nature;
it is already present within us.
but we are held back
by our individual boundaries.
We have to outgrow our individuality
in order to become universal.
Ego stands in the way of love.
When it is removed, we can flow like a river. "
