Here I am sharing an inspiring story in which you can see how ego can destroys one’s life.
There was once a learned scientist..
After a lot of practice and efforts, he developed a formula and
learned the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it
was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original.One day while
doing his research, he realized that the Angel of Death was searching
for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of
himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked
exactly like him. Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at a
loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original
scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to
heaven.
But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel
came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all
thirteen of them, “Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in
making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have
discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw.”
The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, Impossible! wher
is the flaw?” “Right here” said the Angel, as he picked up the
scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off.
The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.
So while one’s Knowledge and Skills takes one to the top of the
ladder and makes one successful, however the three letter word “EGO”
can pull one down immediately.
Let go one’s Ego...
