Do you agree that a "Religious person will not have any Ego....?

Question

If so "Believe in God" will be a wrong Statement. Because, If you don't have any Ego, then there will be no one inside to believe. A Buddha or Jesus doesn't have any Ego. What do you say?

Answer 1

Religion by itself is an ego-centric attachment. ''I belong to that faith and i am right in my beliefs and others are wrong'' is the core egoistic belief of any religious person. So the answer is that a religious person will have an ample amount of ego attached to his faith and belief. Only a true spiritual person can be free from ego.

Answer 2

-NO !

A spiritual Person may overcome the ego. If you are willing to follow where

God leads, to give up all preconceived opinions, to help your fellow man

no matter what his problem seems to be - then you may be a candidate

for awakening from this dream which would diminish the ego to nothing.



Meanwhile, the ego is your biggest barrier to finding God. The ego knows

that once you make the commitment to realize God and live in the Presence,

that the ego will disappear. The ego would rather destroy you than let you

get rid of ego.

Answer 3

It is not " ...will not...", it is "... should not...", but man is man, full of faults, keep on cleaning it with soap and water, the dirt wont go. When Buddha or Jesus or any one like them cast away the 'Ego' only than they became that otherwise they would have remain human and now people could have put their names.

Answer 4

Very nice Question.



I appreciate.



Actually EGO in our SHAASTRA's, is defined as AHANKAR.



The original meaning of this word is "Feeling of oneself - different from others".



Later Brahma Vidya PRAVARTAKs' when told to the general public that AHANKAR is a constraint to achieving the God - the PARABRAHMA PARAMESHWAR, then that time it was taken by general public that it is a bad element.



And it was synonymously treated as "Over Proud".



When Over Proud or any feeling in Excessiveness is bad, it is also true that for smooth functioning of this Universe, AHAMKAR is essential.



Very rare persons, who are very high saints or AVATAR (incarnations), can avoid this AHANKAR, otherwise these all - KAAM, KRODH, LOBH, MOH, BHAYA, CHINTA, RAAG, DWESH, AHANKAR, these all are the forces of ADHYA SHAKTI - PRAKRUTI (Mother Nature). No one can overcome these forces - NO HUMAN.



Love & regards to all,



Aum Namah Shivay

Answer 5

Not Agree !



Religious people also have Ego.



Only Spiritually advanced people are free from Ego and they are very few. They are not attached with any particular religion. They don't discriminate any one by any manner. They observe HUMANISM.

Answer 6

The idea that the entire vast universe exists so that we could exist takes an incredible amount of ego.

Answer 7

yes, i will agree with that.

Having no ego does not mean "not using your brain"

the devotee has strong belief in God and does not have a false idea of his capacities.

he acts not for his own gratification but for pleasing the supreme God

Answer 8

I feel Religious people do have ego. After all they too are humanbeings like us.

Answer 9

religion is not matter of discussion. it is only matter faith. if you believe on some one you have to have faith on it. When you cross the stage of spiritualism than there is no ego. so please do something to get that stage and enjoy the success. by discussion you will not reach the situation of knowledge.
