Proud or Ego both represents the pace of soul which distant self from the supreme reality, a remorseful sinner may be dearer to God than a Yogi that embodiment of proud unto his achievement and lifestyle, renunciation unto worldly objects which feed ego is a path to wisdom, path of love is path to light, path of unalloyed love is path to self, Ego represents the truth of death and Love is an embodiment of wisdom, love to self in silent mode, love to fellow beings without mimic show, service to the mankind and nature is love to God,
May Lord Bless all,
Thanks please
