EGO-the greatest hindrance in your Kundalini practice. Whether one is a Guru or disciple the spiritual progress will be slower if one is full of EGO. Some Gurus think they know everything and will act accordingly and will confuse the poor disciples. Some rich people will demean the poorer people thinking that is their right. Usually EGO manifests itself in people with a low inferiorty complex. If you are practising Kundalini meditation pls ensure you are not caught in this EGO trap and you will see your life around you improving by leaps and bounds. Hindus break coconuts before the altar as a means to break their EGOS and it looks like some people have to break thousands of coconuts. Santhosam.
