In order to reduce ego, the first step is to realize the position in the universe.

There was a picture of the Earth from the rings of the Saturn. The earth was just a small dot. On that dot what is the place and position of one human? The picture was from the nearby planet. The earth would not find any place if picture is taken from distant Galaxy. Why should there be ego when you do not represent even a dot in the whole universe?

How many living organism exist? Infinite. And you are just one of the infinite souls. All of them have same vitality and same senses and same sensual pleasures.
What is so special about you? Money? Can money stop mind’s problem such as anger, jealousy. No! Can money prevent death? No! Money brings more tension.
Position? Positioning of individual is managed by God. Do you had choice regarding your father, mother? Regarding your physical and mental attributes? No!
Power? Power is the worst! It makes you feel you control all. Really? Do you have control over wind, sun, rain..? No! Still you think you control all? Beauty? Are you sure? Open the skin . What is inside? Cough, feces, urine, stinking smell..You are proud of it? If yes, then you should be in mental asylum.

In fact, you are in mental asylum of God. This world is mental asylum in which metal people live. Why are they mental? Because they work blindfolded. If there is a valley in front, would you dare proceed ahead in darkness saying -’Huh! Nothing happens’. Aren’t you insane? You are taking the same approach towards life. Nothing is known what happens after the death. There is total darkness. Yet you are enjoying life with same mentality of ‘Huh! Nothing happens!’ People are mental because they don’t recognize their real father and mother – God. They don’t even know who they are! They don’t know they are souls. They feel that they are body while destroy the same body after death. Surprising!

And what about achieving the goal? Soul don’t even know what should be the goal. It is after material achievements and all those achievements will be surely lost on one day – on death, yet soul is after them! Are you proud of it? Soul has very limited reach. Its vitality is limited to it body. Mind is a servant of the soul but mind makes soul salve and brings a lot of hardship.

If seriously contemplation is done, there is nothing that one should proud about. A constant realizations of facts will help reducing the ego
