(Gauri M. 1, p. 226) CONTENTS • Foreword 7 • The Concept of Ego 9 • An Elucidation of the Hymn of Guru Nanak Dev on Ego in 'Asa Di Var' 14 • Ego and Self 24 • Fate of the Egoist 29 • Mythological Instances of Egoists 39 • The Position and Status of those with Ego and without Ego 58 • Two Opposites-Ego and Name 69 • Various Facets of Ego mentioned in Gum Granth Sahib 82 FOREWORD This is the Fifth Book in "GURU GRANTII SAHIB SPEAKS" series. The earlier four books already published in order are Death and After, Naam, Attributes ofGod (Hari­ Gun) and God's Will (Hukm). While writing this book on Ego, I experienced great difficulty in proceeding further because of the scanty material available on the subject. The titles of various chapters were chalked out on various quotations, hence some of the quotations had to be repeated keeping in view the significance of the subject-matter. However by the Grace of the Lord and True Guru, the work has been completed satisfactorily. I am confident that the Sikhs liVing abroad will make use of the books of the series, not only going through them themselves, but also encouraging their children to be benefitted by this series. It is the wish of the author that our next generation should have the required knowledge about our Scripture Le. Guru Granth Sahib. I take pleasure in expressing my gratitude to the publishers for fully co­ operating with me in bringing out the books in the series for the benefit of the community at a good speed.

This curious riddle is because a particular religion is not clearly understood by the followers of other religions and is sometimes misinterpreted by its own followers. We believe that all religions are basically good and paths to the same ultimate goal. They must be clearly understood, appreciated and, more than anything else, tolerated, for a man has a right to go to “heaven" in his own way. We do not believe in the complete negation of religion. As Einstein has said even science without religion is lame. This book is aimed as a comprehensive introduction to Sikhism both for the Sikhs and non-Sikhs.

Heterogenity of linguistic structures amidst a perfect homogeneity of thought process is the hall mark of GurU Granth Sahib. This unique holy scripture is unique in many ways. It is the only religious scripture that enjoys the distinction of being compiled and edited by the Prophet of Sikh religion, the fifth Master, GurU Arjan Dev himself. It contains the compositions of holy men drawn from all parts of India, belonging to different faiths, speaking different languages, following divergent cultural traditions, placed in many caste categories - both high and low, existing in different periods of time but united only by the divine nature of the message contained.
