What Should I Do With My Ego? (With Swami Kriyananda)

Swami Kriyananda addresses the central role of the ego in spiritual development, emphasizing that the ego is both an obstacle and a tool for growth. He explains that our ego consists of self-definitions, such as gender, nationality, and preferences, which limit our understanding of the true Self—an extension of the infinite Spirit. Instead of trying to destroy the ego, he advocates for expanding it to include others through selflessness, humility, and surrender to God. True humility, he notes, is not self-abasement but recognizing God as the doer in all actions. By focusing on giving rather than receiving, and on actions rather than self-importance, one can align the ego with spiritual goals. Kriyananda encourages laughter at self-importance and reliance on God’s inspiration as pathways to fulfillment. Echoing Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings, he advises balancing personal effort with divine guidance to transcend the ego and achieve deeper Self-realization. ********* Find out more at https://www.swamikriyananda.org/ Like on Facebook:   / nayaswamikriyananda   Follow on Twitter:   / kriyananda   ABOUT PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA Paramhansa Yogananda, born in 1893, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and proceeded to travel throughout the United States on what he called his “spiritual campaigns.” Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952. Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on Western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than a dozen languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.
