SUBLIMATION OF EGO

                                                            Hari om
23 July, 1941.

Dear Bhai,

We need to lend tremendous blows to our ego for it's sublimation in a sattvic ( સાત્વિક ) form. To accomplish this, you should lovingly meet people that you do not like, perform their tasks and try to gain their love. You should definitely embrace people that you abhor, and that also with enthusiasm and love in your heart and mind. Never hate a person and his natural tendencies ( વૃિત્ત ), even if you consider it to be bad. In fact, if confronted with such an incident, you should think of such an incident, as an opportunity and a tool to improve your own habits. All these needs to be done with love in your heart, equanimity and compassion. In this way our whole life is yoga. We should offer all our works to God with love, knowledge and without any attachments.
