According to the teachings in Chapter 27, if you say "I will do this" and hold onto even a little pride, the fruit of that action will appear immediately, without a moment's delay. This suggests an immediate negative consequence. The text contrasts this with working without ego, which leads to perfect success. It emphasizes that the pride of the doer vanishes when one recognizes the inseparable nature of the Guru and devotee, and that the egoless state is one of self-bliss. The individual soul with ego knows little, while the egoless is all-knowing.
What are the consequences of holding onto pride and the feeling of 'I will do this,' as described in the text?
