www.islamicmeditation.com In this video, which is an excerpt from the Islamic Meditation Program, I attempt to describe what the ego is through an illustrated example, that of an ice cube in a glass of water. "Oh my Lord, do not leave me in the grip of my ego for even the blink of an eye." — Prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) In this short excerpt, you'll also learn how the fundamental characteristic of the ego is based in resistance, and that the path to transcending the self and ultimately overcoming the ego is in surrender, the very meaning of Islam. Through the Islamic spiritual path, also known as sufism, which is based in the principle of internal surrender, one can achieve freedom from the limited finite self, dissolve the ego, and awaken to the Divine Presence of God.
