you are totally out of your depth here thus your non-sensical absurd reply
you have made many quotes from the NT about 'desires', which is probably the same as the Gita, which probably explains 'desire' is the cause of 'ego'
yet you disparage the Gita and exalt the NT
regardless, all of these things come from Buddhism, which explains clearly ignorance & desires create the ego
if there is no ignorance & no desires, there is no ego
I will give some examples although I trust you will not be able to understand them:
1. you visit a friend's house & your child starts playing with your friends' fine crystal glassware. you say to your child: "to not touch that, it is
not yours". here, the child's ego in that circumstance is negated by them learning the glassware is not theirs
2. you buy a house on land. you believe it is "yours". however, an earthquake, tsunami & flood occurs, that destroys the house & collapses the land into the sea. that you believed the house & land were "yours" was mere ignorance; mere
covetousness, since you took something that was created by nature (or 'god') to be "yours". because you behaved like thief, you got punished, just like your child that was punished for breaking your friends crystal glassware that did not belong to your child
3. everything in life is the same. it is all created by nature or "god", including what is erroneously coveted as "my body; my mind; my life; my possessions", etc
4. it is because there is actually
no genuine belief in God, there is the problem of ego. if there is real belief in God, it will be understood God is the creator & owner of all things. when God is the creator, maintainer, owner & destroyer of all things; then there is really no place for 'ego' (apart from in worldly communication)
5. this requires wisdom. the spiritual blind cannot comprehend it
