“By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to abide in the mind, and the filth of egotism is dispelled.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
“The egotistical are engrossed in egotism, ensnared by the intellect of the mind.”
“Burnt by egotism, one forgets the Lord from his mind”
“The body is wild, and the mind is foolish. Practicing egotism, selfishness and conceit, your life is passing away.”
“Placing mind and body in offering before the Lord, they conquer and eradicate egotism from within.”
“O camel-like mind, you were once very pure; the filth of egotism has now attached itself to you.”
Atharva Veda
“I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly.”
Oscar Wilde
