How can one know that his or her ego is conquered?

Updated with additional points (highlighted in blue color)

[Smt. Anita asked: While answering a question of Smt.Chanda Chandra ji, You told to wait till the ego is conquered for propagation of spiritual knowledge. How can one know that his or her ego is conquered? Always at Your Divine Lotus Feet🙇‍♀️ Anita]

Swami replied:- Propagation of spiritual knowledge is permitted for the disciples provided they propagate the knowledge of the Sadguru without altering any conclusion. If they get some doubt in a conclusion, they must discuss with the Sadguru and get perfect clarification. As long as new concepts are not propagated, the propagation of spiritual knowledge is a must for every devoted disciple. If this line is not slipping, everybody is ordered by God to propagate the spiritual knowledge. Only the Sadguru has the capability of formulating a new concept because He is able to explain to any extent of depth. A guru becomes the Sadguru when God appears before him and orders to propagate true spiritual knowledge. The word ‘true spiritual knowledge’ means that some new concepts have to be propagated in order to clear misunderstandings in the future. In such a case also, you shall not jump forward thinking that you are capable of propagating the new concepts. You must reply to God that you are incapable of such work and say that you can propagate the true spiritual knowledge provided God speaks those concepts through your mouth. This shows that you have conquered the ego. Then, God will merge with you and will propagate the true spiritual knowledge. While propagating such true spiritual knowledge, you must always say that God alone is preaching through you and you shall not try to project yourself under any circumstances.

Swami replied (with additional points): When the propagator of the spiritual knowledge doesn’t not project himself as the author of the spiritual knowledge and claims at every step that God is speaking the true spiritual knowledge through his throat, know that his/her ego is conquered by him/her.
