Om Swami
How does ego make a person blind, and how does that blindness go away?
Ego blinds, rising upward clears the sight
In ego a person cannot see anyone except himself, and what anyone says has no effect on him. On the upward path, vision becomes clear, he begins to respect the existence of others, and ego is destroyed on its own.
In ego a person cannot see anyone but himself, and a blindness begins to spread. No one's word has any effect on him. He thinks, 'I alone am superior.'
