Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“If one has ego, what should he do? One should surrender that ego completely.

'Is it not exactly the reason that I am engaged in acts of charity?' one may

ask. If so, as one goes on giving away charity, one’s ego should go on

decreasing. If on the other hand, if one’s ego increases, the charitable acts

that one does would be a mere waste.

 

Who is to decide if your ego has decreased? You are your own judge. Therefore,

you should examine yourself. You should introspect. You should analyze yourself.

Even if your intentions behind the acts of charity are good, you may still not

succeed if you allow yourself to succumb to egoistic attitude. At such times,

the Sadguru will caution you."
