Someone may be very learned, someone may be a great yogi, a great spiritual magician, so called but none of these things can bring us out of material existence because that cloud of pride is still covering the soul. You know in different seasons clouds appear differently, sometimes the same cloud due to the wind makes different formations, some times in the summer season and spring season it is very white clouds, in the rainy season it is very black cloud. So, different colors, different formations the cloud may vary in various circumstances around it but the cloud is still covering the rays of the Sun in any situations, may be covering at a little less or little more but it is covering. So similarly, the winds of the modes of material nature, goodness, passion and ignorance may create different formations and this cloud of ego above us. Sometimes it may live me you know through, sometimes it may give a little light, but it is the same cloud.
