Emperor Bali was no doubt a great devotee with humility. However, there was an element of ego in him. God will tolerate anything but never tolerate anger and ego. God does not appreciate these qualities. What is this ego? What for is this ego? Is it for physical beauty or strength of the senses or intellectual acumen or wealth? None of these is permanent. Ego also breeds several other evil qualities! God has gifted every human being with sacred and noble qualities such as Truth (Satya), Righteousness (Dharma), Peace (Shanti), Love (Prema) and Non-violence (Ahimsa). Develop these qualities. These are the five vital airs (pancha-pranas) for a human being. Anger, jealousy, hatred, etc., are evil qualities befitting an animal. How can a person with such animal qualities be called a human being? A human being is one who has good qualities. Follow truth. Truth is God. Cultivate love. Love is God. Live in love.
