Back from the Spiraling Downward into the Ego and the Vow

Perhaps it started when I started to go the ego’s way in small things. Perhaps, when I did not deliberately focus on God but focused on the ego instead. It is so subtle. You try to make yourself believe that you can both focus on the desire of the ego and God. You feel something is wrong in what you are doing. But you continue. And then the spiral begins.

This time I came up with a vow. In one day my outlook on life changed from almost total control of the ego to peace and serenity.

Here is the vow:
