Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does ego remain even after sadhana and renunciation?
Ego hides even in renunciation
People can be proud of learning, bhajan, sadhana and even renunciation, and only the Guru can destroy this subtle ego. Stay in the shelter of saints, read devotees' lives and sing their glories.
Ego is a very subtle matter. Very subtle. Only the Guru destroys it.
