Once a Bagri came to the Dera Sacha Sauda and said, “I have made a pilgrimage to a sacred place and have given up eating of brinjals for ever.” At this Mastana ji remarked, ‘Oh! You have given up eating of brinjals, but when will you give up ‘I’ or ‘Ego’ which would hurl you into the veritable hell? Ego has killed the whole world, but none has killed ‘Ego’. The whole world has been drowned in the deep ocean of Ego. So, when will you give up ‘Ego’?”
