Overcoming the Ego: The Gateway to Divine Grace in Sant Paltu's Teachings

In Sant Paltu's profound teachings, the ego is seen as the greatest barrier to spiritual liberation. The ego, with its constant need for validation, self-glorification, and superiority, creates an invisible wall that separates the soul from the Divine. Paltu emphasizes that by surrendering this ego, an individual opens themselves to divine grace, allowing spiritual transformation to unfold.

Understanding the Ego as a Barrier

Ego often blinds us, encouraging us to perceive ourselves as separate and distinct from others. This perception distances us not only from other people but also from the Divine. The ego functions like a lens, distorting our view of reality, and feeds on material attachments, achievements, and identities. According to Sant Paltu, as long as we identify with the ego, our journey to true wisdom and unity with the Divine remains hindered.

The surrender of ego doesn’t mean the obliteration of self-worth but rather a transcendence of limited identities. When we are guided by our ego, we tend to react from a place of fear, pride, or selfishness. In contrast, surrendering the ego opens us to a state of humility, acceptance, and unconditional love. Sant Paltu teaches that only by relinquishing this attachment to the self, can the soul embrace Divine grace, allowing wisdom and compassion to flow naturally.

The Divine Path: Shifting from “I” to “We”

In the journey of spirituality, Sant Paltu speaks of the shift from a self-centered life to one that sees unity in all beings. When the soul recognizes that the same divine essence flows through everyone, the need to prove superiority fades. This transformation helps dissolve the barriers of separation, bridging one’s inner world with universal consciousness.

As we relinquish the ego’s grip, we become vessels of divine grace, experiencing a newfound clarity, connection, and compassion. This selflessness, Paltu explains, allows us to perceive the world through the eyes of the Divine, cultivating empathy, and reverence for all.

Practical Toolkit for Overcoming the Ego: Daily Practices

Meditative Reflection

Morning Self-Inquiry: Begin the day by sitting in quiet reflection. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and ask yourself, “Who am I beyond my name, titles, or possessions?” Visualize yourself as a being of light, free from any labels.

Evening Reflection: At the end of the day, reflect on moments where the ego may have influenced your thoughts or actions. Recognize these instances without judgment and consider how you might respond from a place of humility in the future.

Gratitude Practice

Ego often thrives on feeling entitled or superior. Practicing gratitude can ground us in humility and appreciation for life’s simple blessings. Each day, note down three things for which you are grateful. Reflect on how these blessings connect you with others and the Divine. This practice gradually transforms our mindset from "What do I deserve?" to "How am I connected to everything around me?"

Selfless Service (Seva)

Engage in acts of kindness or service without expecting recognition or reward. This could be helping a neighbour, volunteering for a community cause, or supporting someone in need. Regular acts of selfless service remind us of our interconnectedness, bringing us closer to a life of humility and compassion.

Breath Awareness and Mindfulness

Ego-driven reactions often stem from impulsive thoughts. Cultivating awareness through mindful breathing creates a pause between thought and action. During stressful or confrontational moments, take a few deep breaths before reacting. This simple practice allows you to respond from a place of calm rather than from the ego.

Affirmations to Surrender the Ego

Use positive affirmations to reinforce humility. Examples include:

“I am a vessel of divine grace.”

“I release the need for control and allow divine guidance.”

“I see the Divine in myself and others.” Repeat these affirmations each morning and evening to foster a mindset of surrender and openness to higher wisdom.

Seek Spiritual Company (Satsang)

Associating with spiritually inclined individuals provides valuable reminders to remain humble and focused on the divine path. Through shared wisdom and collective experiences, you reinforce the value of selflessness and become inspired to rise above ego-driven behaviours.

Reflective Journaling

Journaling allows you to identify patterns in your behaviour influenced by the ego. Regularly write about experiences or interactions where you felt defensive, prideful, or judgmental. Ask yourself what fear or insecurity might be fuelling these reactions, and consider how you could respond differently.

Looking Ahead

In a world that often promotes individualism, fame, and material success, Sant Paltu’s teachings on surrendering the ego remind us of the power of humility and inner stillness. By choosing the path of surrender, we not only open ourselves to divine grace but also allow our souls to blossom in wisdom and love. Each step toward surrender becomes an invitation for spiritual growth, transforming our lives and the world around us.

The Hidden Trap of the Mind: How to Escape Illusion and Find True Freedom The Model of Transformation: From Darkness to Freedom Unconsciousness → Ignorance People live on autopilot, unaware of the forces shaping them. They never question their reality, mistaking their conditioned minds for truth. Delusion → Misperception → Identification Their thoughts and beliefs distort reality, creating illusions. They identify with their ego, thinking they are their thoughts, emotions, and roles. Desire → Attachment → Expectation → Entitlement They crave validation, control, or fulfillment. This leads to attachment—clinging to outcomes and believing life should conform to their expectations. Disappointment → Resistance → Frustration → Anger → Blame When life doesn’t go as planned, resistance builds. Frustration turns to anger, and anger seeks a target. People blame others, society, or fate, deepening their suffering. Hatred → Bitterness → Suffering Blame hardens into hatred. The mind, poisoned by resentment, traps itself in bitterness. Suffering is no longer just a feeling—it becomes an identity. Reflection → Seeking → Awareness For some, suffering leads to reflection. They begin questioning their beliefs, searching for truth beyond illusion. Awareness awakens as they start to see the patterns controlling them. Disillusionment → Surrender → Clarity As illusions fall away, a painful but necessary disillusionment occurs. If they resist, they return to suffering. If they surrender, clarity emerges. They no longer cling to falsehoods. Love → Compassion → Patience → Endurance Love is no longer an emotion—it is the state of being in harmony with truth. Compassion follows as they recognize the suffering in others. Patience and endurance grow, allowing them to navigate life without attachment. Understanding → Insight → Detachment → Acceptance Understanding deepens into insight—the ability to recognize illusion before falling into it. Detachment is not coldness, but freedom from false identification. With acceptance, they stop resisting reality. Mastery → Wisdom → Freedom Mastery is not control—it is surrender to truth. The need to manipulate, control, or grasp disappears. Wisdom emerges, bringing total freedom—the unshakable state of being beyond illusion. Why You Need to Watch This Most spiritual teachings only offer half-truths. They tell you to “manifest,” to “think positive,” or to “raise your vibration,” but they never address the real root of suffering. This is not about tricks, shortcuts, or temporary happiness. This is about seeing through everything—your mind, your beliefs, your identity—until nothing false remains. If you’ve ever felt lost, frustrated, or like something isn’t quite right in your life, this is your wake-up call. The cycle of suffering ends when you see it for what it is. Are you ready to escape the prison of the mind? 🔥 Watch Now & Take the First Step Toward True Freedom.

Ego: The Silent Barrier to Personal Growth and Meaningful Relationships

Ego is an invisible force that shapes our thoughts and actions. It sneaks into our thoughts, making us believe we’re always right, that we deserve more, or that admitting mistakes is a sign of weakness. A healthy sense of self can build confidence, but when ego takes over, it damages relationships, stalls growth, and creates unnecessary struggles. The worst part? Most people don’t even realize…

Life Lens - Entry 232

Ego and pride can never compete with emotional intelligence. I’ve come to realize that while ego pushes people to be defensive and pride makes them hold onto being right, emotional intelligence allows for real growth and understanding. It’s about being self-aware, knowing how to manage emotions, and being empathetic toward others. People driven by ego often miss the bigger picture—they get…

To heal the situation,the judgements need to be released.You are projecting something from your own shadow side onto the other person. So this situation is an opportunity for you to clear away an ego issue.

Card of the Day 💟

It is important to remember that you only have complete control of yourself, but very little of those around you, and the situations you encounter. That small bit of control that you do have over others is the impression that you leave on them, so make sure it’s a good one. We all have different journeys that we must travel individually, and it’s not up to anyone else to decide what that journey entails. Instead, encourage others to make the decisions themselves that will lead to their fulfillment. When you let go of the need to control everything and everyone, things will start to stabilize in your own life because you are placing more of your energy on your own path. Redirect your energy & flourish.

After finding this image done by @louise_hay_affirmations earlier, I felt a sudden need to differentiate between releasing long held resentment for someone and dealing with something hurtful that someone has done very recently. I used to do my best to not even allow anger to be present when frustrating things would happen, either suppressing the anger or scolding myself later for being unable to do so. I've managed to learn over the past year or so, though, that suppressing ones feelings about something usually only makes them more intense. There are times when it might be necessary, but if you're anything like me, burying your true emotions about things probably only results in those feelings boiling over sometime later. So, specifically in the moment something happens that upsets you, I personally think there's no reason to try and hide or sugarcoat what you're feeling. Releasing powerful emotions, if done correctly, is a relief to the person feeling the emotions as well as a good opportunity to find a solution to the problem. However, if a particular incident has been bothering you for a very long time already, or if you find yourself still angry at a person who hasn't done anything wrong in months or years, it's definitely time to release that energy. Not necessarily say you're ok with what they did, but see that your resentment is only poisoning you and decide it no longer controls you. I appreciate you being here and allowing me to share what's on my heart with you! Hopefully, I've helped some of you understand why it's important to both letting your real emotions out when they come up and letting go of resentment that's been there too long aren't good for you, and also encouraged you to share what's in your own heart with those around you! 💜 #loa #lawofattraction #lawofattraction101 #affirmations #affirmationoftheday #morningaffirmations #dailyaffirmations #positveaffirmations #positivemindset #positivethinking #positivenergy #positivevibes #changeyourthoughts #changeyourmindset #changeyourvibration #letgoofanger #lettinggo #letgoofego #letgoofthepast #letgoofwhatnolongerservesyou #shareyourheart #shareyourheart💜 #trezurewoods #littletrezures (at Santa Ana, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKYLk4AMsU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jnm8ki1ojzwz
