Gurudev, why is there this huge ego that comes with talent? What is the relationship between ego and talent? For example, many talented singers do not let new singers come up. Why so?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

If there is talent, there will always be some such problems. It is difficult to see all good everywhere, and prakriti (nature) brings some such negative tendency somewhere or the other.
Those who are talented, normally, they are very emotional. They tend to get angry very quickly, lose their balance very fast. These things happen, and we have to manage such things.
