Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why is ego the root of all my faults, and how does surrender help?
Surrender cuts the root of faults
Ego is the base on which all our faults rest. Accept that I am Prabhu's and Prabhu is mine, and that base is cut.
Ego alone is the storehouse, the foundation and the shelter of all our faults. In surrender, it is the ego that is offered up.
