What is ego and how do you actually drop it in daily life? In this profound teaching, Shree Krsna Guruji explains the four components that create ego and shares the powerful third-person practice to transcend it. In this second video of our 3-part series, you'll learn:✓ What ego really is: identification with "I-ness" ✓ The 4 components: Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Ahankara (ego), Chitta (memory/tendencies) The beautiful red rose example showing how all four work together ✓ How past-life tendencies affect you today (eating like a hog, acting like a monkey) ✓ The third-person practice: Stand outside yourself and observe ✓Why leaving footwear outside temples means leaving ego outside MOST POWERFUL TEACHING: "Stand outside yourself and look at who is talking. You have to drop this idea that you are this body, you are this person, this is your name. You are not that person."Some Reflection Questions1.
