Ego is strongest on the religious path

Ego is strongest on the religious path.

People read about magnificent ideas, visions, and the lives of heroes, and they collect all this information as they collect money, without trying to understand or actualize it in their lives.

Such accumulated information becomes the source of their ego and stops their spiritual progress, which is not based on information and theology, but precisely on the process of transformation of their nature.

It is such an ego that eventually destroys the heart and turns man into a machine, who attacks others, rationalizing that others are inferior beings not on the same path as he is.
