Egolessness Quotes

“How dare you talk of helping the world? God alone can do that. First you must be made free from all sense of self; then the Divine Mother will give you a task to do.”
― Ramakrishna, The Man Who Quit Money

“When two egos clash, they both grow and grow. An endless drama ensues. If one chapter ends, another starts. Only egolessness can defeat ego because when they meet, ego falls into its own traps.”
― Shunya

“To those who are crawling under the weight of their ego, an egoless person appears small because he flies high in the sky of freedom.”
― Shunya

“Lord Buddha himself taught that basically, human nature is pure, egoless, just as the sky is by nature clear, not cloudy. Clouds come and go, but the blue sky is always there; clouds don’t alter the fundamental nature of the sky. Similarly, the human mind is fundamentally pure.”
― Thubten Yeshe, Becoming Your Own Therapist

“Mind says, “Wherever you see a temple or something related to god, bow down.” Mind wants to be the authority that decides what is godly and what is not.

God says, “Wherever you bow down in egolessness, there is me and my temple.”
― Shunya

“The Art of Self, I've learned, is indispensable to material success but corrosive to the human spirit. What's more, much of the misery in the world, I've decided, is caused by people who take themselves too seriously. Certainly, most of the unhappiness I've brought on myself has come from trying to impress others.

The people I find most appealing nowadays are those so secure in who they are, so lacking in ego, pretense, and guile, that they can allow others simply to be themselves. It is, I think, the rarest of privileges, the freedom to be completely oneself in the company of others.”
― Lionel Fisher, Celebrating Time Alone: Stories Of Splendid Solitude

“There is this classic thing about surfers as they grow up,' John McCarthy said one day. 'The adult surfer says, "Oh yeah, I got the wave and rode it all the way to the beach!" But when you talk to a five year old who has just surfed, he or she will say, "Oh, the wave picked me up and brought me the whole way to the beach.”
― Keith Duggan, Cliffs of Insanity

“The best part of silence is that the ego is switched off at least for a while, and we are focusing our attention inwards.”
― Dada J. P. Vaswani

“Don’t call me human, I feel belittled, consiousness is my size. Dont’t call me earthly, I feel belittled, Existential is my size.”
― Saroj Aryal

“A human being is million times bigger than a bacteria, planet Earth is million times bigger than a human being. So human beings are just bacteria thriving on Earth's skin. Science gives facts. The egolessness required to sink in those facts comes from spirituality.”
― Shunya

“Drown your ego before it drowns you.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Tajrish

“Man's power is ugly and violent. Man's power is ego, which is a separation from life. God's power is love. For man's power to be love and creativity means egolessness. It means to be egoless, so that God can flow through you. It is to allow God to pass through you like the wind passing through the trees.
It is to allow and not hinder God's ways. It is to give him total acceptance. It is to become an instrument, a medium and a vehicle, so that you become a flute through which God can sing. And when God can sing through you, there is love, power and creativity, but it is not yours, it is God's.
But you have to disappear as an ego for it to happen. The spiritual journey is the commitment to allow the ego to evaporate. Then all power is God's power.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“True love grows out of silence. True love grows out the experienceof egolessness. Otherwise love remains superficial. Unless you know that you are not the ego, you cannot really love, because the ego will disturb love. 
The ego will poison love into jealousy, domination, anger and possessiveness.  They are all symptoms of the ego. They are not part of love. The only way to drop jealousy, possessiveness and domination is to drop the ego. Dropping the ego means to become  egoless, to become nobody, to become a nothingness. 
When there is no ego when you are not, there is silence. In thatsilence, the flower of love starts growing. The flower of love has the fragrance of the divine. Then love does not create anybondage for you. Then love brings joy, truth and freedom. 
Then love delivers you from misery, anguish, anxiety and loneliness. Then love makes you what life intended you to be.Then one has come home. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“I have no image that can be smeared, for I long lit the self to cinders.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
