I have now come to a stage of realization in which I see that God is walking in every human form and manifesting Himself alike through the sage and the sinner, the virtuous and the vicious. Therefore when I meet different people I say to myself, โGod in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous.
RamakrishnaThe ego is like the root of a banyan tree, you think you have removed it all then one fine morning you see a sprout flourishing again.
