The Disappearance of Ego, the Silence of Victory
When we gaze into the empty sky, it fills us.
There is a quality in that emptiness
unspeakable, yet deeply felt.
When we look at the stars, they reflect something within us.
That reflection is a feeling beyond words.
This is the silence of awareness.
When we look into the universe, we may realize where we lost the sense of “we.”
That loss is the birth of ego.
The moment we understand when the feeling of “I” arose
that is the beginning of wisdom.
Ego is a construction.
It is not real.
When the ability to see it directly arises, the game of life comes to an end.
How can an ordinary person connect these ideas with daily living?
Spend a few minutes each day gazing at the empty sky or at nature.
Learn to experience feelings without words.
When you think, “I feel this way,” ask.who is that “I”?
When did that “I” come into being? Why?
Success, failure, fame, blame all exist only because of “I.”
Without “I,” none of these have meaning.
Silence is not merely the absence of speech.
Silence is a state of deeply experiencing feelings.
Victory is not position or wealth.
Victory is the ability to see ego and let it go.
In that release lies peace.
Daily Practice
- Meditation: 10 minutes of silent being.
- Practice of vision: gazing at nature, stars, the sky.
- Inquiry: test the feeling of “I”—who is that “I”?
- Exercise of release: how to live without ego?
Life is a game.
But the end of the game, the true victory, and the peace all arise in the moment we directly see ego and let it go.
The words of the wordless man call us toward that peace.
The mind that hears that call stands at the doorway of wisdom.
Once that doorway is opened, victory is not a state.
It is peace.
With love,
