Darkness is only the absence of light so is ego: absence of self-knowledge. You cannot sacrifice it. Read Full Article http://goo.gl/Vh3SX .
It has been told to you again and again: Sacrifice your ego and the statement is patently absurd, because something that does not exist cannot be sacrificed.
And if you try to sacrifice it, something which is not there in the first place at all, you will be creating a new ego the ego of the humble, the ego of the egoless, the ego of the person who thinks he has sacrificed his ego.
It will be a new kind of darkness again. Don't be in hurry to Sacrifice the ego. On the contrary, I say: Try to see where the ego is. Look DEEP into it; try to locate it, where it exists, whether it exists at all or not.
Before one can sacrifice anything one must be certain about its existence. But dont be against it from the very beginning. If you are against it, you cannot look deep into it. There is no need to be against anything.
The ego is your experience maybe it is just apparent, but it is still your experience. Your whole life moves around the phenomenon of the ego. It may be a dream. But to you it is so true. There is no need to be against it.
Dive deep into it, go into it. Going into it means, bringing awareness into your house, bringing light into darkness. Be alert, watchful. Watch the ways of the ego, how it functions, how it manages at all.
And you will be surprised: the deeper you go into it, the less it is found. And when you have penetrated to the very core of your being, you will find something totally different which is not ego, which is egolessness.
It is self, supreme self it is God. You have disappeared as a separate entity; you are no more an island, now you are part of the whole.
In that experience of being one with the whole, the ego is sacrificed, but that is only a way of speaking, a "metaphor". Dont take it literally.
Try to understand the ego. Analyse it, dissect it, watch it, observe it, from as many angles as possible. And dont be in a hurry to sacrifice it, otherwise the greatest egoist is born: the person who thinks he is humble, the person who thinks that he has no ego.
