Quotations
Ego
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
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"
There is nothing more "deceitful" than ego in this world. If you want to see,
carefully observe the people who unnecessarily show high moral, talk ethics,
visit temples or strictly follow rituals. Their entire being reverberates ego, yet
they are unaware of it.
-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 "Bhagwad Gita 3.27"
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"
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 "Chandogya Upanishad"
When you observe the ego in yourself, you are beginning to go beyond it.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
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
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
-A Spiritual Leader "Adyashanti"
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"
