THE DEATH OF THE EGO

The ego will lurk like a thief when you start intro¬spection and self-analysis. It will elude your grasp and understanding. You must be ever vigilant and alert. If you obtain the Grace of the Lord through Japa, Kirtan, prayer and devotion, you can easily kill this ego. Through the Grace of the Lord alone will your self-surrender become perfect.
When this ego melts in the Cosmic Ego you will attain communion with the Lord. You will become one with Him. May you realize the goal of life – Self-realization!
