Om Swami
How can I reduce my ego when I don't feel respect inside?
Begin with outward respect
Respect can be given from the mind only when there is no ego. Where ego is present, start by showing respect outwardly, and the ego within may lessen a little on its own.
When there is ego, how will you give respect? Begin by giving respect outwardly, and perhaps the ego within will lessen a little on its own.
