POSITIONALITY

POSITION + EGO + POSITIONALITY
POSITIONALITY – EGO + POSITION
Taking position is not wrong but becoming positional is. If ego comes with position, one becomes positional. Say if we give man a good house and every kind of luxuries and tell him that he can enjoy everything but tell him that at any moment everything will be taken away. So what woukd be his mental state, a constant fear, that is becoming positional, he has completely identified his ego with the position.
Self need something as a support, it can be any ideal, any relation or it can be a position. So even assuming for a moment that, that position or relation is coming to an end cause a terrible disturbance. If we use the position to feed our ego we becomes positional. Similarly we use an ideal to feed our ego and always defend it, actually we are defending our ‘ self ‘, non existing illusory self.
If we become of this mental game, a sort of intelligence awakens in us. That intelligence then guides us as to how to use the position intelligently.
