Premanand Maharaj Ji
When people praise me or follow my advice, how do I stop feeling proud?
Cut pride with discernment
When people bow to you or follow your advice, credit the Guru and Bhagwan, because the words are theirs, not yours. When ego arises, cut it with discernment.
Ego should be cut down with discernment. When ego arises, cut it with the thought: these words are not mine.
