How did Ego get Generated?
Do we know or have ever thought of how the whole world was created? From where did the ego or ignorance arise when we are a pure Soul?
Transcript
00:00My question is, if the pure soul, if there is a pure soul, how did the ignorance get generated in the first life?
00:12Where did it all start? Where did the ignorance start? If the soul is always pure.
00:19Soul is always pure, but he has a property of knowledge and reason,
00:26understanding, believing, that property of soul, and due to circumstantial evidence,
00:35something happened, then soul is visualizing, he is knowing something happened,
00:41and then people will give, oh, you have done good work, you have done bad work.
00:49So he believes that I am doer for this, and that's why ego gets generated.
00:55Because he is knowing, but who is really doer, he don't know.
01:00That's why, due to circumstantial evidence, and people have ignorance,
01:08they will say, you are so and so, you have done good work, so he believes, I am so and so, I have done so and so,
01:16and due to ignorance, that ego gets generated.
01:22So, just like gold has property of molding, tensile able, flexibility, gold has property.
01:31So on that property, by that property, one can make bangle or ornament.
01:39So like soul, it remains soul all the time, but property of the soul is knowledge and reason,
01:49happiness, energy, the soul has property.
01:53And due to circumstantial evidence, and from so many birth, rebirth cycle,
02:04we don't know really who am I.
02:07Every birth and rebirth, due to father, mother, religion, we are getting wrong belief only.
02:21So due to wrong belief, ego gets generated.
02:26And after, when you came here, you will get right belief, who are you.
02:35The soul remains as it is pure, but ignorance is generated,
02:41and when you get right belief, realization will take place.
02:45And separation from body, separation with body, speech and action will take place.
02:52And you will get right understanding, who am I, and who is the doer.
02:58So due to wrong belief, everything, whole world is generated.
03:03And by right belief, you will come out from all these worldly problems.
