A Quote by Adam Scott

That is again the same story played on a more subtle level. That's what the religious people have been doing down the ages - pious egoists they have been. They have made their ego even more decorated; it has taken the color of religion and holiness.

The subtle ego goes on playing such games that it is very difficult. One will need absolute awareness to watch it.
