Om Swami
What must I give up on the path of devotion to deal with ego?
Keep ego behind on the path
Reaching that state means passing through a difficult path of keeping ego behind and putting an end to your desires. Ego is always ready, and compassion and kindness come before it only for a moment, like clouds before the sun.
You will have to kill your desires, kill the self, end your existence, keep your ego behind, and the ego is ready at every moment.
