RISE ABOVE EGOISM

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on September 5, 2012 at 7:00pm

So long as there is connection with the principle of egoism and the rest, with the body and the sense-organs, there is pleasure, pain and transmigratory existence for the individual soul.
Egoism is the notion of' “I” and "mine" in the gross and subtle bodies. The ignorant ones are attached to the body. They cannot rise above the sense of “I” and mine in the gross body. The discriminating few rise above it through knowledge.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
