Some people are very sensitive. Sensitivity is a
direct expression of ego. If there is a discussion going on and I ask a
question and someone speaks out in the middle that is called a sensitive
ego. The predominant spiritual roadblock related to ego is atkan. Other
examples of atkan are sexual matters, greed and pride. For example a
strong healthy horse stops dead in its tracks when it comes to a grave
covered with green cloth; it will not move forward at all. That is called
a block. Likewise, in spiritual progress, there are certain major blocks
called atkans. Every human being has an atkan and this is the very thing
that makes him wander life after life. Atkan leads to wandering and
wandering leaves one hanging, neither here nor there. I rescue such
persons. The ego of atkan is acceptable, but not the one of sensitivity.
There is no progress as long as there is an ego of sensitivity.
Sensitivity is present if a person becomes upset over very trivial things.
You can get rid of your atkan by just observing it, but the ego of
sensitivity will only go if you are very forceful and vigilant in breaking
it. Whatever you have brought with you from the
past life is indeed what is going to unfold in this life. You have to
simply observe it. The Gnani has bestowed upon you the absolute light of
the Self, so why then do you still have a sour face? It is because of the
atkan and the sensitivity. The sensitive person becomes one with his sensitive ego and
that is why one becomes upset for prolonged periods and feels no zest in
life.
