The Little Monster!
Good Morning! Sorry. I was busy. Back with you all today. How are you all? Hope you all have been smiling..all through.... 
There is the problem of this ego. It is the little monster who lives in my head, crouched behind my good senses, waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble! It always wants to be right. It does not matter if it is right or not; it will start rationalising and justifying. It will not hesitate to risk friends, family and peace of mind! And all this just to win, to be "better".
Now, knowing this, I have the advantage. When this EGO tries to convince me it is okay to manipulate others or behave like a spoilt child or be angry at some one for doing the same thing that I do, I can look at the situation and say, " Hmmmm...here is this little ego playing games again with me". But only if I choose to do so. Isn't it so?
The key is that I do have a choice. This ego would like me to think otherwise - that life is a competition to be won or lost. It would like me to react to it's endless tricks instead of laughing at it's antics. It would like me to perpetuate it's games. But ....but...when I use the KNOWLEDGE, I observe and absolve rather than RE ACT and RETALIATE! then I sail through the situations I encounter unaffected and without being afraid of anything.
"Right" and "wrong" are concepts in the mind. What is important is the love in my heart. With this knowledge " I " am free.
So....Keep wondering about this beautiful life which God has given to us. Thank HIM for this wonderful opportunity that HE has given, to do wonderful things to mankind. Every one is born with a purpose. Know it and spread Joy, Love & Peace!
Keep smiling... Have a thoughtful Thursday! 
Chitra.
