How to tame the Ego?

[zsayeed]

Bhai o Bonera,

I am asking you this question for a personal reason. I am also hoping that you guys will give answers that would help others as well.

From the earliest times, be it Patanjali, Geeta, Sufism, Kabalism, Budhism... the ego has been the one part that has been held responsible for all the friction in humanity. In Sufism/Islam/Arabic it is called Nafs. We are told about the effect of Nafs; in Sanskrit, the Ohom. Yes that is the same root that goes into Ohonkar.

Please give me your answer as to how to tame the ohom, nafs, ego? What have you learned to do - not from theory but from practice? Amader shathey alochona koren - Amar binito onurodh.


Thank you sincerely.
