In Kundalini Yoga you are required to have a very large ego, but you also have to be able to drop that ego. Imagine yourself as the space shuttle taking off and leaving this planet. You have these huge fuel cells attached to you, that’s your ego. Its required to have this to go thru life. Once you break free of the gravity of this planet, you have to let go of those fuel cells, you have to let go of the ego. You have to go thru a very small aperture, a portal, and your ego won’t fit. It will only fit when you praise the universe around you
