WAYS TO DESTROY THE EGO

If sadhak wants to enter into the heart of the sadhana, he must first make an effort to be free from the ego. First he must develop care and enthusiasm to become humblest of the humble with wisdom and knowledge. He must interact with love and keep the spirit of the love alive with clear understanding.   Every time when the ego raises its ugly head, he must be aware and make sure that nothing is done with inspiration from the ego. Satvic guna cannot be expressed fully as long as ego is in existence. The steps of reducing the grip of false understanding, acting with the most humility, taking care that our insistences are not enforced and doing all these with the spirit of love are taken with wisdom in the given circumstances, then there has to be a reduction and destruction of the ego.
