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