मै मेरा घर जालिया, लिया पलीता हाथ I जो घर जारो आपना, चलो हमारे साथ II
In reality, nobody can totally remove his or her ego for it’s instilled within all beings. In fact, it defines our relationship with ourselves and our world, essentially providing meaning to the self to insure survival, success, protection, procreation etc. However what we are asked by Kabir is to annihilate the negative aspect of the Bloated egotism, the false ego-sense where the conditioned mind identifies with the gross body-frame instead of its true nature. The negativity of false ego-sense converts one’s life into a battlefield. Its negative impact destroys inner beauty, goodness and auspiciousness. Killing the ego simply means killing that consciousness of “I, me, mine” which is the very center of our existence. Ego makes a man selfish, angry, greedy, overly attached to Maya, arrogant, and so on — the root of all trouble in the world. Only the complete surrender to the Guru destroys false ego-sense. We can take plunge now or just wait standing at the shore of This River. It is our choice. The River is always there, ready and willing to accept us and cleanse us, and take us to the Ocean within."
