The ego attracts all painful phenomena and sufferings to itself

Ego is like a magnet that has fallen into a bunch of nails -- every nail will be attracted to it. The ego attracts all painful phenomena and sufferings to itself. Egolessness is a state of indifference. When the ego is dissipated, one will not have concern for one's own happiness or unhappiness. This is a supreme realization, as the True Self is beyond all physical, emotional, and mental conditions.
