Sri Ramana Maharshi
You think that the world can be conquered by your own efforts. When you are frustrated externally and are driven inward, you feel, "Oh! there is a Power Higher than man!"
The ego is like a very powerful elephant which cannot be brought under control by any less powerful than a lion, which, in this instance, is no other than the Guru, whose very look makes the elephant like ego tremble and die.
You will know in due course that your glory lies where you cease to exist. In order to gain that state, you should surrender yourself. Then the Master sees that you are in a fit state to receive guidance, and he guides you.
