Bhagavan, sometimes when we are speaking to people in the Corporate Sector or elsewhere Bhagavan, when we talk about the ego - they often have this condition/view, 'they say without the ego, it is very difficult for us to survive. If we are not egoistic, the world will dominate us, we would be finished.'

Is it really possible Bhagavan, to be really free of the ego and still function in the world; still be successful in the world; still be a part of this competitive life, Bhagavan?

Sri Bhagavan: Yes! Infact if you are free of the ego, you would be extremely successful. So, what we have to distinguish between is, The Self and The Ego. Self is an ambition. The will to fight it out. The will to achieve. Now, we are not talking of those things here. The Ego on the other hand makes you positional. When you become positional, you don't understand what the other person is talking. There is no listening. Hence, there is no learning. Therefore you have every chance of losing. You have every chance of losing a business order. You have every chance of losing a good employee. You have every chance of losing a good insight. That way the ego proves to be very harmful for corporate success. Here, you must know we are not talking of the self. The Self must very much be there; if you want to achieve success in the world. We are not talking about that. We are talking of the Ego and its games, which is harmful in the process of achieving success. So, you must learn to distinguish between the two. Summary :- Of course, "self" is an illusion.In the inner world it separates man from god.In the inner world we must dissolve the self by becoming free from it.In the inner world you can become free from the self only when you could see the different portions of the self.That is the reason Bhagavan says, "To see is to be free". But in the external world we need to handle it differently.We have to use the "self" for our existence.So, self is helpful to reach a particular position in the external world.Here things are going wrong with many people.They are excessively projecting their self and so it is leading to the formation of ego. So "self" should not exist in your inward journey (journey towards god).You are only a "athman" (soul) and you are a part of "paramathman" (supreme soul).There the self should completely dissolve and only then it is possible for you to achieve "Oneness State". But in the external world you need to achieve success for which the "self" will be very much helpful.The portions of the self like intelligence, emotional intelligence, creativity, technical skills,interacting with people (Communication skills), passion etc can be used for reaching a particular position.After reaching that particular position, again you need to utilize the same portions of the "self" for your survival but if you use negative portions like pride, arrogance etc., then it leads to ego due to which you will end up in failure.

Hi, I had an opportunity to attend the inauguration of the oneness youth circle and to become the member of the same yesterday (Dec 6 2008). We had couple of dance sessions, aerobics ;-) and most of all a session from Samadharshini acharya ji which just awesome!! The program was started right in time and also ended at the right time :-) To quote some of the key messages which acharyaji told us, (So my memory is not very good, I will try to narrate it as well as possible. The order may not be the same. There should be some experts who would later give you a better update :-) As usual I did not take any pen, so everything comes out now is from my memory  ;-) ) - Self Dheeksha from amma bhagvan sri murthy, - Gratituude to Amma Bhagvan for all that they have done. - visualize our goals - Plan your work daily - Chanting the mantra taught in Anugraha dheeksha. - Akatvam Jeevami, Akatvam Samvibhajami, Akatvam UtthamBayami. (I did not remeber some of them and got some points from Pavitraji salem, She was recollecting while travelling in bus :-) She has taken notes responsibly as usual, but could not refer that in bus ;-) ) We had a lot of clapping, jogging and exercising in between :-) Bhardhanatyam sessions were just awesome!!, I always wonder how these people make such wonderful expressions in their face and just twist their body like that, thats a talent!! There were miracles shared by three persons. One of them was from Anna university doing her mechanical engineering who had presented her paper in Atlanta. Next was from Harshavardhini who had been recognized by United nates for her amazing articles (am yet to read them ;-) troubling her for the same) and she had been awarded a lot of titles and one cannot imagine that she is doing her 12th standard :-) The last was from Anandji chennai working as a test lead who had just sprung up to a great level after completing Bsc maths, to become a test lead without completing a degree such as a B.E or M.C.A means clearly its just pure skill and Lord's grace. These people are our some of the role models which Amma Bhagvan's has created!! Thanks to main co-ordinator Selvaraj ji, wonderful compiring from a person (I don know her name) and more people who had been doing all the work from behind. We had a very good lemon rice for lunch offfered by a devotee. After some time I had a good tamil nadu food :-) Things which could improve: Since it was more like a conference, I came with an agenda to meet chennai youths and develop relationships. But since the schedule was too tight, there was no time to sit and discuss with the youths there and get to know each other. It would be good to have them. In corporate conferences there would be a lot of parties where we get to meet a lot of new people and get to know them well enough. This develops a wonderful friendship amoung us. We had collected the names, email id and phone number of all the people who had come. It would be good to collect the carreer information too and publish it in some web location. This would be particularly helpful for people in similar domain to interact and for students to get guidance for their project work, general studies etc. I am not sure whether these were in the agenda or may have be planned for future meetings, so I just wanted to bring them up. To introduce myself, A Ps: If anyone knows acharya ji's email id, let me know.
 * To get the Grace of Amma Bhagvan ONE should be HAPPY :-)
 * Guys and girls excercise everyday!!
 * Learn, grow share. Learn, grow, serve. Learn grow contribute!!
 * Integrity at work.
 * 5 point plan (Morning between 6:30 - 6:40)
