Every individual 'ego' wants to reach the top of the world but the beauty of nature
is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Ego
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"
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
Where egoism exists, Thou are not experienced. Where Thou art, is not egoism. You who are learned, expound in your mind, this inexpressible proposition.
-Scriptures "Maru-ki-Var"
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
He is not obtained by mouthing mere words, but by rooting out ego from within.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
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
Flashing of past or future in any form or thinking about it even for a moment...is
nothing but the 'ego'.
-Deep Trivedi
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your 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
