LAW OF THREE (10)
EFFORT AND THE EGO (2)
EFFORT AND THE EGO (2)
Effort arises out of the resistance to a desire. Unless there is an initial desire to climb a mountain, no effort will take shape. No climber will arise.
In our daily experience the forces of desire-resistance-effort are in continuous conversation. When the three forces come to an agreement and are ready to play, decision enters, and spontaneous action takes place.
Effort and the Ego
The energy of Effort (3rd force) arising out of two contrary forces, enables the triad move forward into a new triadic configuration. The ensuing new triad may lead to unexplored territory or back into an old repetitive one. It depends on the nature of the leading 3rd. force . Is it the Ego? Or is it Wisdom?

In dual consciousness, the Ego identifies himself as the 'doer' of all the actions. "I am doing all this and all that. If I do not make efforts nothing will get done." From the perspective of non dual consciousness the effort needed is an 'effortless effort.' It starts with a conscious decision and it follows with self observation. Those familiar with Advaita philosophy will know that only Prakriti (nature) acts.
