      Ego is fakely implanted sense of self.

      Quran is beyond ego, that's why many cannot understand it. At best they dellude it, accordingly.

      Only the being positioned in Divine Presence is true. The rest have work to do.

      Peace,
      R.

              Dear Johan,

              I never thought of it in that way, but yes, I suppose I can be that way inclined by nurture. I also like to know w hich words different countries use and how they spell things. I have a bit of a "thing" for languages and linguistics in general, but I then again, Iguess many on this forum also do.

              A "spellchecker", eh. I like that. -)

                Excrept from "Wu Wei" definition

                A selfless act can only be performed by someone in an egoless state. Every act performed by someone in the usual way of things has some kind of reward attached whether it is financial, power, love, status or just feeling good about oneself. All these things are ego re-inforcing. To perform a selfless act one must let go of one's ego and pass into an enlightned state of consciousness. This is called wu wei ? the state of doing without doing. Here every act is selfless for the ego has ceased to exist. There is no I making decisions and the outcome is always perfect.

                  It is not safe to undo the ego, you need it to cross the street!

                        Salaam Johan,

                        I understood it with these aayaats.

                        457
                        457 Woe to every sinful liar

                        458
                        458 Who hears the verses of Allah recited to him, then persists proudly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

                        May Allah guide us all to His true path pr
