Fail

So how strong is ego?

Very strong.

Almost Everyone I have met – have such a strong ego that they cannot grasp the highest

The worst ego is in spirituality. All based on reading books and extreme meager experiences. It is so bad that if Jesus walked on earth the scholars would teach Jesus the meaning. Or the Indian saints would preach and interpret the Gita to Krishna.

So the best option is for the wise to remain silent. It is useless! The heavily defended ego will obstruct any progress. The ego would rather sacrifice lives and cause incredibly anguish rather than make progress

That is a failure
