Your ego gets inflated due to your physical and mental strength, intellectual power, wealth and property. Power and position makes one egoistic. How long will the position last? It may last just a short while. In fact, everything you possess is momentary, including your own body. All that is temporary and fleeting, you consider permanent. And, you do not pay any attention to that which is really permanent. This is incorrect. You must focus your attention on the principle of the Atma, the Self. There is no need to go anywhere in search of the Supreme Self. It is everywhere, behind you, with you, around you, above you and in you. Know Thyself.
