Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do I overcome ego and pride?
Body-pride is the root of every fault
Desire, anger, greed and envy all live in the house of body-pride (deh-abhiman, taking yourself to be the body). So pray first that body-pride melts away.
Desire is born from body-pride. From desire comes anger. When desire is being fulfilled, greed is born. And envy comes from ignorance.
