In an Asuri, there is hypocrisy, pride, and ego, all three are present. There is hypocrisy, pride, and ego. What is the difference between pride and ego? Pride means arrogance. And ego means? Ego of enjoyment. We have such a car, I am so educated, if I am sitting, another cannot do this, the ego of enjoyment is called pride. And body-ego is called ego. Hypocrisy, pride, ego. Lineage, this, that, all of those mean, we, I have traveled here, I have traveled there, I have eaten this, I have enjoyed that. That is called ego of wealth, and pride of enjoyment.

These are the main characteristics of an Asuri. I did not understand the difference between pride and ego. The blank slate of sense enjoyment, that is called pride. What does a blank slate of sense enjoyment mean? Others do not get it, but we enjoy it. That is called pride. And holding onto things due to resources and wealth, saying 'I have so many cars and this and that,' that is called ego. That is called ego of property and wealth. Enjoyment, that of sense enjoyment is called pride. Thinking 'I am superior to everyone in sense enjoyment' is called pride. Thinking 'I am superior to everyone in property and wealth' is called ego.

Not tolerating being left behind happens whether one is attached to God or attached to ego. So Maharaj said that this, he observes vows better than everyone else. Not just staying in a good category, he must come ahead of everyone else. "And if he is once spoken to with harsh words, he does not forget it as long as he lives."
