Can you help me answer my question?

[crossfire]

I believe ego can be described in many ways, your descrption is one of them

But also the Ego arise when we say/think
I want, I need, I should have, it is mine, I crave it.

So every time we think it belong to me, or should be mine, or I want it.

That coould also be ego. It numing then virtue of not craving anything

I would say that is more id than ego.

This morning i listen to a teaching of a sufi master Sheykh Lokman Efendi about satan and God.

He Said something like ( in my words)

Satan is in you represent the Ego
God in you represent your virtue/goodness

What do you think? Is both satan and God in you at the same time, asking you to choose the Ego or virtue to follow?

He continue (in my translations of his words) to say, to remove ego from your being is to remove satan from within.

When you have fully remove ego, all that regain is virtue/god.

Any thoughts?

truth.......if your hand does anything at all
it's because you thought you should....or
you felt like it

if your deed seems that of heaven
