Monks should be free from egotisic pride
The ego attacks the sage, the scholar, the teacher and the devout spiritual aspirant, even more than ordinary men. Their ego makes them proclaim that they, can defeat all others in controversy, that they are the most learned and that they are the ones nearest God. When egotism enters man, envy follows fast and occupies the heart. Some who have religious institutions under them, laugh at you when you tell them that you are proceeding to for this year's . "So you have also become a victim of this madness?" they tease you. Instead they should be pleased and say, "Good! You should gladly go to any place where you can get peace of mind, where you can acquire (divine bliss) and become aware of Divinity. I am glad you have secured such a place. God is One and is Omnipresent." Monks wearing ochre, robes should be free from egotisic pride and envy. I always tell you that God is present everywhere, in everyone; that all names and forms are His. I direct you to go to any place where you can carry on quietly, where you sense the atmosphere of Divinity and where you receive love and can cultivate love through service. When reduced to ashes the huge Forest, his ego did not raise its head. But when he stood before the army, the ego told him to flee. He had made enormous preparations for the fray; he had amassed specially destructive weapons after years of austerity and adventure.
