A person who has the slightest fear of insult cannot be called a “Gnani” [the enlightened one] and a person who desires self-recognition [maan] is not a Gnani [the enlightened one].

Wherever there is ego, meditation (dhyan) does not exist. The inherent nature of the ego is such that dhyan does not exist when the ego is present. Therefore, when dhyan arises it is a resultant state, it is not an activity. Dhyan is the effect that arises from whatever activity the ego does.

The One in whom, there is no trace of ego, is a 'Gnani Purush' (the enlightened One).

The inherent nature of the Self (atma) is such that as the belief changes, one becomes like that. In that, the Self indeed remains the same, only the results change because of the ego.

We' [The Gnani Purush] do not fracture your ego, ‘we’ fracture your wrong belief. 

The mind, intellect and chit are all carrying out their own functions. It is our interference in that. 'Our' does not mean of the Self. There is a wedge of ‘I’ in between these two. Why is egoism present? It is due to the rising of a ‘wrong belief’. 

Where there is no solution, there One should keep Seeing-Knowing. If one has not attained Atmagnan (Knowledge of the Self), even then he can keep seeing through indriya gnan (knowledge attained through the medium of the sense organs). However, there is a difference between seeing through indriya gnan and Seeing through the Knowledge of the Self. In seeing through indriya gnan, egoism is present!

To not do egoism in that which is mandatory is known as Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self).

For how long will insult hurt a person? For as long as he covets self-importance. For as long as one covets temporary [non eternal] things
