Ego Quotes

As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You're not thinking about loving; you're just being love, radiating like the sun.

Ram Dass
16

Behind everyone's learned behaviors and odd eccentricities lurks a soul, ready to make contact if only coaxed out through a crack in the ego.

Ram Dass
16

Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’t, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you’ll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one.

Ram Dass
16

The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but he cannot do so when the clouds shut out his rays. Similarly as long as egotism veils the heart, God cannot shine upon it.

Ramakrishna
16

Sanyal Mahasaya

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

Chogyam Trungpa

How long do you remember that it is the Lord who is making you work? But then, by repeatedly analysing like that, you will come to a state when the ego will vanish and in its place the Lord will come in. Then you will be able to say with justice "Thou, Lord, art guarding all my actions from within." But, my friend, if the ego occupies all the space within your heart, where forsooth will there be room enough for the Lord to come in? The Lord is verily absent!

Swami Vivekananda
16

There are very few things in the mind which eat up as much energy as worry. It is one of the most difficult things not to worry about anything. Worry is experienced when things go wrong, but in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise. The frozen past is what it is, and no amount of worrying is going to make it other than what it has been. But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires.

Meher Baba
16

Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.

Mata Amritanandamayi
15

Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself. Just as the word “water”

Alan Watts
15

Anger, ego, jealousy are the biggest diseases. Keep yourself aloof from these three diseases.

Sathya Sai Baba

By constantly keep one's attention on the Source, the ego is dissolved in that Source like a salt-doll in the sea.

Ramana Maharshi
15

In egotism, one is assailed by fear, he passes his life totally troubled by fear.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji
15

Is there a meditation that is not the ego trying to become? Is meditation conscious if every effort implies time?

Jiddu Krishnamurti
15

Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.

Chogyam Trungpa
15

If the ego is not regularly and repeatedly dissolved in the unbounded hyperspace of the Transcendent Other, there will always be slow drift away from the sense of self as part of nature's larger whole. The ultimate consequence of this drift is the fatal ennui that now permeates Western Civilization.

Terence McKenna
15

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up.

Deepak Chopra
15

By far the greater part of violence that humans inflicted on each other is not the work of criminals or mentally deranged, but of normal, respectable citizens in service of the collective ego. One can go so far as to say that on this planet "normal" equals insane. What is it that lies at the root of this insanity? Complete identification with thought and emotion, that is to say, ego.

Eckhart Tolle
15

The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.

Eckhart Tolle
15

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. You must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. The catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. Fight your way above the many inevitable Traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. I don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. I mean today, this minute.

Dr. Maxwell Maltz
15

A Oneness of all. An evolution in consciousness of us all that isn't about the egos.

Ram Dass

I am in constant bliss, day and night, egotism has been dispelled from within me.

Guru Nanak
