Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why do I keep seeing my own faults even though I do bhajan, and does it mean I am not progressing?
Not knowing your progress protects you from ego
It is good not to know your own spiritual progress, because knowing it brings ego. Bhagwan keeps placing a shortcoming before the seeker so he keeps moving forward.
It is good not to know your own spiritual progress. If you come to know, ego will arise.
