This all-important, most extraordinary significance given to The Eucalyptus, “Abolition of the Ego”, is, without question, the ‘Great Surrender’ and Mother’s comment is imperative, “One exists only by the Divine and for the Divine.

The Mother writes: “The ego is what makes one conscious of being separate from others. If there were no ego, you would not perceive that you are a person separate from others. You would have the impression that you are a small part of a whole, a very small part of a great whole.

When you begin to be aware that everything is yourself, and that this I only a very small point in the midst of thousands and thousands of other points of the same person that you are everywhere, when you feel that you are yourself in everything and that there is no separation, then you know that you are on the way towards having no more ego.”

And Sri Aurobindo writes: “Human nature is shot through in all its stuff with the thread of the ego; even when one tries to get away from it, it is in front or could be behind all the thoughts and actions like a shadow. To see that is the first step to discern the falsity and absurdity of the ego movements is the second, to discourage and refuse it at each step is the third, - but it goes entirely only when one sees experiences and lives the One in everything and equally everywhere.”

Here are two beautiful flowers from of “Abolition of the Ego”.
