Where does Our Personality Come From?

It’s important to know that the Truth of who we are doesn’t have a personality. That Truth isn’t funny or sad or smart or goofy…it has no personality at all, in fact. It’s actually our Ego that has the personality, and our personalities are created as we grow, by the way that our Egos interact with the environment that we’re in.

As Sadhviji so brilliantly explains in this teaching, this is why meditation is so important in our lives, because it helps us to be free of the thoughts and patterns of our Ego personality and to focus on our True “personality” – that self that exists without personality. We start to be much more able to move through our lives from a place of Truth, rather than in the role – the personality – that our Ego has adopted.
