The Itch Of The Ego And Why It's Never Satisfied

In this Dharma talk, we explore how clinging to the separate self creates an endless itch we are always trying to scratch. We run from one place to the next, chasing relief, but the itch never goes away for long — it always comes back.

Because our attention stays on trying to satisfy the itch, we rarely question its source: the thought-created self, the ego. In this talk, we break down why you can never outrun the itch — and how it can instead become a powerful pointer to presence, peace, and freedom.

This is such a great talk. I especially like the part… See what keeps taking you out of the present moment. This is a good one to listen to again and again. Allowing it to pour over me like a dharma shower. 😊😊😊

Excellent talks and lives. Wonderful teacher.
