Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do I get rid of the subtle ego that comes from my own spiritual practice?
Ego of devotion goes only by the guru's grace
Even sadhana brings ego, and it is harder to remove than worldly ego because we treat it as a virtue. Only the guru's grace destroys this subtle "I did this".
Because we see worldly ego as a fault, it goes away, but we see ego born of devotion as a virtue.
