Quotations
Ego

Flashing of past or future in any form or thinking about it even for a moment...is
nothing but the 'ego'.
- Deep Trivedi

Under the influence of false ego one thinks himself to be the doer of activities, while in reality all activities are carried out by nature as a natural process.
- Srimad Bhagavad Gita

If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
- Deep Trivedi

The jiva or living being is endowed with ego and his knowledge is limited, whereas Ishwar is without ego and is omniscient.
- Adi Shankara

If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
- Deep Trivedi

Only he, who lives freely can enjoy life to the fullest. An egoist can never live
freely. And it is also true, how can a person tied up in numerous bondages do
anything else but die each moment he lives?
- Deep Trivedi

Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
- Deep Trivedi

Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.
- Scriptures

Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
- Deep Trivedi

This Self who gives rise to all works, all desires, all odours, all tastes, who pervades the universe, who is beyond words, who is joy abiding, who is ever present in my heart, is Brahmn indeed. To him I shall attain when my ego dies.
- Upanishads
