Meaning: Ego and God cannot exist together, a saint is one who is bereft of all ego! As long as ego exists, God’s dwelling within is not possible!
Implied Meaning: Every living being, despite having an element of God, is not able to realise the knowledge of Aham Brahm Asmi and ego is the primary cause for it; hence seekers must make efforts with consistency to reduce their ego.
