How can I be free of ego and pride?
Saints' grace teaches humility
To be saved from ego and pride, you need the grace of saints and of bhakti (devotion). Saints teach us to bend, and stiffness is the mark of a dead body.
Until the grace of saints and of bhakti is in your life, you cannot be self-respecting. The grace of saints is essential; saints teach us to bend.
