Surrender the ego to experience the true self from "summary" of Be As You Are by Sri Ramana Maharshi
The ego is the false self that we identify with, believing it to be our true nature. It is a product of conditioning and societal influences that cloud our perception of reality. Surrendering the ego means letting go of this false identification and recognizing the true self that lies beneath it. When we surrender the ego, we are able to experience the true nature of our being. This true self is pure and unchanging, unaffected by the fluctuations of the mind or external circumstances. It is the essence of who we are beyond the limitations of the ego. Surrendering the ego is not about denying or suppressing it, but rather acknowledging its presence and its limitations. By letting go of the ego, we allow ourselves to connect with the deeper aspects of our being that are beyond the surface level of identification. In surrendering the ego, we open ourselves up to a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment that comes from aligning with our true nature. This sense of wholeness and completeness is not dependent on external validation or circumstances, but arises from within. By surrendering the ego, we free ourselves from the bondage of attachment and aversion that keep us trapped in a cycle of suffering. We are able to embrace life with a sense of equanimity and acceptance, knowing that our true self is always present, regardless of the external circumstances. In letting go of the ego, we come to realize that our true self is not separate from the universe or others, but is interconnected with all of existence. This sense of unity and oneness brings a profound sense of peace and harmony that transcends the limitations of the ego. Surrendering the ego is a journey of self-discovery and self-realization that leads us to a deeper understanding of our true nature. It is a process of letting go of the false identifications that keep us trapped in a limited sense of self, and opening ourselves up to the infinite possibilities of our true self.
