The third step is the hurdle that stops me from realizing self- i.e., Ego.

It's the 'Power centre'- which makes us crave for money, money and more money represented by the money tree - which gives us an illusion of happiness, security, abundance proportionate to the money that we have.

Crystal tree shows us the possibilities of expressions in our life - the positive use of ego.

Hare Rama Hare Krishna dolls represent the only way to use our ego, that is, to lead our life as an expression of his will.

Jokers say that there are thousands of jokers in the world – and no two jokers have an identical make-up, but each joker stands out with his make-up. Like-wise, though we all lead more or less the same type of existence we can bring our unique 'I’ness (or) ‘our touch' to our existence that can express our unique Quality.

Nature also can't produce a second you that way, every person is unique. Why not accept it, celebrate it- find it and express it, instead of comparing ourselves with one and all and trying to be one-e-one also!

Elephants represent Ego. Smallest First elephant represent the ego of our body our beauty, physical strength and our entire existential ego.

Second Elephant represents arrogance that comes with fulfilling our responsibilities and living that, like, I take care of my parents, I fend for my family, I go to office to earn for my family, I get up early, I am a 'good' spouse/father/son

Third elephant- Ego comes from success and achievements - I've huge house/assets/degrees/posts.

Fourth elephant- I am a sensitive, good Samaritan ( a person who does charity, helps people), etc.

Fifth elephant- I am highly talented.

Sixth Elephant- arrogance of knowledge know how

Seventh elephant- This is the biggest elephant and the most difficult to break once it manifests- spiritual ego. Ego that comes by following scriptures, faiths or techniques which are for spiritual upliftment.

Knowledge is required to break the bondage of ignorance but ultimately "knowledge itself becomes the bondage".

Only way to break it is Bhaja Govindham Bhaja Govindham Govindham bhaja Moodamathe.... Sing the praise of Govinda to break the bondage of life and death.
