On Ego Factor Swami Anubhavananda

Ego is the most controversial topic after God. It has both the aspects of the necessity and the evil. In short you can call the ego as the necessary evil of life. Now the question is when is the ego a necessity and when is it an evil. Is there any way when the evil aspect is diluted along with the necessity of the ego and an altogether different quality of life is manifested through us, which is a true representative of the so far dormant divinity in us. A series of talks entitled EGO FACTOR -ASSET AND LIABILITY was delivered in Coimbatore and inspired many listeners. It is one of the listeners, namely, Dr. Sou Gayatri Balasubramanian, who came forward to translate the voice into the printed media. The book is her single-handed effort for the benefit of the seeker of the truth. Sou Vrinda Joglekar did the editing job with her touch of perfection.
