Before doing any good unto others, it is necessary for a person to know the
difference between soulful happiness and egoistic happiness. If you tamper with
someone's ego, then along with him, even you will be badly trapped.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Ego
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
If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in
and day out.
-Deep Trivedi
Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
-Deep Trivedi
There are two forces strongly present in you; one, your 'witness' and second,
your 'ego'. Ego, the one who is doing the things, and witness, the one who is
watching all that happens.
-Deep Trivedi
Eradicate self-justification. Then alone can you annihilate your ego.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
The ego isn’t wrong; it’s just unconscious. When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it. Don’t take the ego too seriously.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Like other particles of the world even "ego" cannot be destroyed. Yes, it can
surely be transformed into soulful qualities... But the moment any "Buddha"
attempts it, fearing extinction, ego not only resists but also activates its self-
defence mechanism.
-Deep Trivedi
He is not obtained by mouthing mere words, but by rooting out ego from within.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
The gulf between I and you is the ego. When the ego is removed the distance disappears and the ‘I’ and ‘you’ also disappear. They merge to become one — and that is love.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
