Almost all religions agree that the self, the ego, is the delusional concept that the individual exists as separate to reality, though different religions differ on the exact nature of the ego.
Hinduism, the world’s oldest religion, sees ego as one of the primary trappings of man. “Hypocrisy, pride, self-conceit, wrath, arrogance and ignorance belong, O Partha, to him who is born to the heritage of the demons.” ~ The Gita, XVI. 4. Ego and pride are seen as dangerous and harmful. Ego, in Hinduism, is considered the most inflated form of pride. Those are egotistical and self centred are considered to be haughty and overbearing, thinking highly of themselves and lowly of others.
Buddhism sees the ego and the self as something which is made up by the mind: the sense of ourselves as separate individuals “I” or “Me.” Buddhist also believes that the self is the basis of the vast majority of our problems, and of almost all our suffering. Buddhists believe that we “Cling” to our sense of self and, as Buddha taught, this “clinging” is the root cause of suffering.
But if that’s the case, then just what, exactly, are we “clinging” to?
It’s that part of ourselves that says “I” and “Me”—that vague, intangible sense of ourselves. It’s there when we enter the world, and for most of us, the longer we live and the more actions we perform, the stronger our sense of self becomes. The longer we spend living through this sense of self, the more we become attached to it.
What’s the different between “Killing Yourself” and “Killing your self”? ANSWER: One leads to death, the other to rebirth.
There are many inherent problems with this sense of “I.” First off, if there’s an “I” then there must also be a “Them”—something else which is at odds with “I.” This develops an “I” VS “Them” mentality. We associate certain things with the “I” and other things with the “Them”. To give a glaringly obvious example of this, think of racial prejudices. A racially prejudice white person views the “I” as white and the “Them” as black. They accept white people as a part of themselves, and denounce black people for being different. And, of course, the same is true of all people with racial prejudices regardless of their ethnicity. Indeed, it’s true for all prejudices. Even in supporting a football team we learn to adopt an “I” and a “Them.” Of course this leads to a clash of interests, which can sometimes even escalate to war. Religious wars, for instance, are fought with a sense of “I” (Christian / Muslim / Buddhist…) and a “Them.” Without this sense of self—with the “I” and with the “Them”—would there even be war?
Perhaps ironically, we even divide our individual selves up depending on this sense of self. If we consider ourselves to be good looking, we won’t accept that bit of gray in our hair—a clear “I” / “Them” discrepancy. If we view ourselves as serious people, we just won’t accept moments of silliness. But of course, all this does is sever our being. We actively cut ourselves in two between the “I” and the “Them”—even when that “Them” is a part of ourselves.
We spend so much of our time and energy developing our sense of “I” and cutting off our sense of “Them” that we interfere with our experience of the present moment. When talking to someone, we won’t just listen to them, we’ll be judging them based on all manner of criteria, determining whether they’re “I” or “Them”. When deciding what to do we’ll generally stick to ingrained ideas of “things we do” and stay away from “things we don’t do.” Our delusional sense of self completely dictates our actions.
