It's not because of fear that you have ego.

Because you have ego, you have fear.

Well, you know what is fear?

A debilitating emotion of insecurity

and almost your existence is threatened.

That is the basis of fear, that you feel at that moment, like everything that matters to you is threatened.

What is ego?

Ego is a very nebulous non-reality.

In the sense, by gathering a few memories, ideas, opinions, and prejudices, you have formed a nebulous

structure that you call as myself. Essentially, it's non-realization of the reality of your

existence. Your misunderstanding. a collective collage of memories, ideas, opinions, and prejudices.

I am repeating this again for you, because this is what you're calling as myself. When you have a nebulous existence like that,

essentially you are protecting the non-existent.

It's very difficult to protect and thrive on something that is non-existent.

When I say non-existent,

what happened yesterday is not existent today.

Its footprint is here, but it is not here.

So similarly, your ego or your sense of who you are

is just a footprint. It is not a living thing.

So when it's not a living thing, if you try to protect it,

when it's not existential, when you try to protect it,

you are continuously in a state of insecurity.
