ANNIHILATION OF EGOTISM

Swami Sivananda

You must have a very clear understanding of the nature of the ego if you want to annihilate egotism. It is done through the eschewing of desire, craving, "mineness," "I-ness," pride and arrogance. Control of the senses plays a major part in the overcoming of egotism. Egotism assumes various subtle forms. Gross egotism is not so dangerous as the subtle forms of egotism. Institutional egotism is a subtle form of attachment. The man identifies himself with the institution and gets associated with his institution or cult or creed. He forsakes broadmindedness, catholicity, mental charity.

When it is the will of God that He must grace an individual soul in this Samsara in a special way, then He out of infinite compassion manifests in the life of that Jivatma as Mantra.
