SELF-REALIZATION

The
vital ego assumes the form of vital-emotional conditioning such as
likes-dislikes, passions, delusions, desires , fears, arrogance, vanity, anger,
resentment, laziness, stupidity, etc..
The vital ego is unconscious, chaotic, captious, obstinate, compulsive, reactive as well as it is unwilling to cooperate with us and resists forcefully our efforts to control our mind, body and senses and live a conscious virtuous life. The vital ego clouds our reason, discernment and clear (without distortion) perception and thus impedes us to be aware of the its play and also to recognize our true nature.
That's why it is required great patience, tenacity, perseverance, forbearance, courage, steady determination, sincerity and diligent incessant practice in order to dissolve it.

and determination to face bravely the resistance and the attacks of their vital
ego.
Spirituality
it is not always an easy happy journey but a difficult battle between the lower
forces of nature and the higher discriminative self. It is a battle between the higher sattvic mind and lower rajasotamsic vital mind.
Who
has defeated his vital ego is a true hero because conquered his lower
nature and has become a king of his own psychological kingdom. After
realization the nature serves the yogi, since the only purpose of nature is to
serve the Spirit and the realized yogi is one with the universal Spirit.
