If the aspirant takes personal pride in the results of his endeavours,
if he regards mystical experiences that come with meditation as favours special to him,

and block his path.
He imagines himself to be far advanced on the path and swells with complacency at his achievement.
In all this self-flattery,
it is his ego who really benefits...
