| The Heart of Compassion |
I
am afraid of becoming egoless. Face it, my reality is based on ego-centric
motivations. The very idea of submitting my desires to that of a greater
identity is terrifying to me. The very idea that this prospect is terrifying to
me is the greatest proof I have of the existence of, not only a power greater
than myself operating here, but this fear also leaves a footprint of my own
spirit that is the object of the ego’s manipulations. I don’t believe that
there are people so bereft of morality and spiritual qualities that they have
not acted selflessly at one time or another. This too confirms that some sort
of DNA is functioning in my desire to act when I reach out to someone who is
suffering. The fact is, in spite of the manipulations of ego; the seven deadly
sins of pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth, our spirit has a
natural inclination towards union with the motivations of a compassion that
transcends all that nonsense.
