There are many reasons for developing special kind of personality inspired by layers of ego. These include certain atmosphere around us, certain circumstances, excellence in the intellect, arrogance of the mind, receiving certain advantages in dealings of life, success and prestige gained in life, effects of certain influential people who deal with us etc., Obviously this seems to be gross in nature but in reality these are subtle curtains that are very obstructive in the path of development of life. The reason being, we are completely trapped in the personality of variety of special reasons as mentioned above and we have no knowledge or awareness about it. This kind of vruttie shows its presence in every incidence, every place and there is subtle sense of ego expressed at the time. This needs to be crushed completely every time it shows up. We have false feeling that, it is easy to break the gross but in reality it is quite hard to accomplish. The reason being, we can be separate from lots of other things and observe it but here it is difficult because we have become one with our personality. As mentioned earlier, there are many subtle curtains or layers in an apparent physical layer. So until we are trained and have developed the capacity to go within, and we have developed the strength and Bhava to be completely aware and have balanced mind, we do not have the skill to completely dismantle our personality. Also, we cannot just pushed aside our personality either. Only when there is complete destruction of this personality, 'I AM' is removed.
