In the spiritual life the easiest way to conquer ego is to offer gratitude to God for five minutes daily. If you cannot offer gratitude for five minutes, then offer it for one minute.

When you offer your gratitude, you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.

When you discover the flower of humility inside you, you will feel that your consciousness has covered the length and breadth of the universe.

Think of the blade of grass — we trample upon it, but it never complains. Through this, we learn humility and oneness with Mother Earth and the infinite Vast.

In the spiritual life we grow humility through conscious gratitude. Once humility blossoms, the ego disappears and transforms into universal oneness.
