Premanand Maharaj Ji
What is the subtlest ego for a seeker, and what removes it?
Ego is a tree; saints' grace uproots it
Ego is like a tree with many branches, and it is very subtle. One branch is pride in great practices. Only the grace of great souls brings ego-free bhajan, which brings Bhagwan.
Only bhajan free of ego brings attainment of Bhagwan. And ego-free bhajan happens only when great souls show grace.
