THE ERADICATION OF THE DESIREOUS EGO ~Swami Sivananda


THE ERADICATION OF THE DESIREOUS EGO

The ego manifests itself as ambition, desire and lust. Under their influence man indulges in hatred, love, flattery, pride, unscrupulousness, hypocrisy and delusion. 

To eradicate egoism arising out of Deha-Abhimana (body idea), think constantly on the foulness and perishability of the body and the pains arising out of the senses. Reject them as evil and mentally rise above them. Dwell upon that which is desirable, elevating and divine!
