In Sant Paltu's profound teachings, the ego is seen as the greatest barrier to spiritual liberation. The ego, with its constant need for validation, self-glorification, and superiority, creates an invisible wall that separates the soul from the Divine. Paltu emphasizes that by surrendering this ego, an individual opens themselves to divine grace, allowing spiritual transformation to unfold.
Understanding the Ego as a Barrier
Ego often blinds us, encouraging us to perceive ourselves as separate and distinct from others. This perception distances us not only from other people but also from the Divine. The ego functions like a lens, distorting our view of reality, and feeds on material attachments, achievements, and identities. According to Sant Paltu, as long as we identify with the ego, our journey to true wisdom and unity with the Divine remains hindered.
The surrender of ego doesn’t mean the obliteration of self-worth but rather a transcendence of limited identities. When we are guided by our ego, we tend to react from a place of fear, pride, or selfishness. In contrast, surrendering the ego opens us to a state of humility, acceptance, and unconditional love. Sant Paltu teaches that only by relinquishing this attachment to the self, can the soul embrace Divine grace, allowing wisdom and compassion to flow naturally.
The Divine Path: Shifting from “I” to “We”
In the journey of spirituality, Sant Paltu speaks of the shift from a self-centered life to one that sees unity in all beings. When the soul recognizes that the same divine essence flows through everyone, the need to prove superiority fades. This transformation helps dissolve the barriers of separation, bridging one’s inner world with universal consciousness.

By choosing the path of surrender, we not only open ourselves to divine grace but also allow our souls to blossom in wisdom and love. Each step toward surrender becomes an invitation for spiritual growth, transforming our lives and the world around us.

1 周Ego can take many forms. We commonly think of it as the persecutor, but it can also appear as the victim or saviour.

1 周Thank you for the clarification. I highly appreciate the time you took in replying back. Are the following beliefs and thoughts "male / female", "white/ black", "beautiful / ugly", "rich / poor", "strong / weak", "pious / sinful", "religious / atheist", "Hindu / Muslim / Jew / Christian / etc.", "Indian / Pakistani/ Arab / American / Australian / Chinese / etc." also part of false ego? I understand ego resides in the mind. What is mind and where does mind reside? Is it also intangible or made up of some element? Is intangible free of all elements? Am "I" my physical body, my mind, my ego, my aatma, God (Pantheism) or there is no such "I" (Anatta)? Am "I" inside my physical body or outside it or "I" am everywhere?

1 周Thank you for the post. Any reflection regarding followings: 1. How did ego come into being? How was it created? 2. What is it made up of? A clay, a breath or a light? 3. Where is it stored in our self? 4. How is it taken back when we are made to sleep? When we sleep, the breathing is still there but there is no ego at all.
