Well, the use of ego is as important as the driver of a car or any other vehicle, but some vehicles run without drivers. When any transformation takes place it is not that it has been discovered, but recovered. Why, because many have enjoyed it in the past and will keep on enjoying in the future. Thus, it is rightly said that we are the masters of our body not the slaves.
When we practice a lot, may it be anything we do not need to command, the mind follows all instructions naturally. This very thing makes the role of ego spiritual, the self-driven not the forced way that we control most of the times. We have learned it because it is art not science, when we talk about art; science is nothing more than a tool. Can you sing? Well, then anything you use for perfection including all instruments and the scientific equipments are just tools.
However, if we cannot sing, all the scientific and technological tools and the equipments are of no use. Science needs art, but art does not need science. Well, it may seem an arrogant or over authentic statement or claim. We take an example.
One sings. The other plays instruments. The instruments need artist, but the artist does not need instrument. This is as true as we know that body needs spirit or soul, but spirit does not need body. We need air, but air does not need us. There can be countless examples in which all that is present in the universe does not need any scientific and or technological instruments or equipments to run. We use science get benefit from these.
The water flowing downwards follows the laws and the principles of nature. However, we manipulate these to get benefit from it; we build a dam to get the electric power. Is the electricity absent when the clouds thunder? No, the electricity that the clouds produces is more than the dam can produce and it goes around the entire planet, but it is art of nature and we are addict of scientific and technological tool and equipments so we claim to be great scientists having some dams on earth.
Now, the earthquakes and floods keep on occurring, but we have not been able to use these for our planet. Why, we lack art and are thus dependent on the tools.
The sea is there but we cannot use it-a statement that anyone can make. However, when nature converts it into rain and we can collect it for free, we do not care as we can buy water if there is no drinkable water. If air is polluted, the green world or the trees and the plants purify it, but we want to have more bugs and thus set up oxygen supply centers or the medicines to rectify the "evil" effects of air pollution. It is true with everything in nature, but our dependency upon the science and technology is harming the natural world and thus the all bodies, the vehicles, so what.
We are trying to create the artificial foods, drinks and living organisms without noticing that nature is doing all of it for FREE. It is the Art of Nature that we can follow if we try to learn and thus govern nature by following its laws and principles. The word govern here is not that way, we are the masters of our body, not the slave, so nature does not want to control us, it always serves, but the conditions apply. It follows ART, not science and technology. Now Science is present in nature and it expresses as Art, but science and technology present the artificial ART. These can control bodies of the natural world as robots because these are not ART because we are the masters of the ART, not the slave.
Thus, the word GURU is used. The word 'Gur' is the skill in Art that we can use, it is not science. Why?
We will discuss in the next part. Thanks!
