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
Quotations
Ego
The jiva or living being is endowed with ego and his knowledge is limited, whereas Ishwar is without ego and is omniscient.
-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankara"
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 "Bhagwad Gita 3.27"
Eradicate self-justification. Then alone can you annihilate your ego.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
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
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 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"
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
-A Spiritual Leader "Adyashanti"
Flashing of past or future in any form or thinking about it even for a moment...is
nothing but the 'ego'.
-Deep Trivedi
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
