it seems almost a paradox that this meditation is entitled the grace of devotion, when it comes across so harshly - asking us to humiliate the self (para 2) and blame the self (para 3)... this really does seem to reflect a tone which is unfamiliar and difficult to relate to.
and yet... i am finding that the ego - that aspect of the self that is stubbornly dedicated to self-preservation, concerned with image, how one is perceived etc.... - is extremely well versed in avoiding being challenged or unseated.
Could it be that to destabilise the ego, one actually has to resort to this kind of "radical surgery"?
