The outer and inner ego

The outer ego is the obvious one – the one due to vikaras; or rarely due to arrogance due to absence of vikaras; and further rarely due to arrogance due to perceived lack of arrogance.

The inner ego is difficult one, and is due to being at nth step of understanding (adhyatm) and when looking down upon < n steps.

The acid test for both is to clone yourself as-is and think how comfortable or uncomfortable you feel with yourself.
