Only when there is no ego,
or at least, less ego, can peace,
happiness, co-operation and love flourish.

Man cannot claim to be a
man until this ego which urges
him to destroy others is overcome by
the spiritual discipline of selfless service.

By saturating selfless service with love,
work is offered to God; it then gets
sanctified into worship.

This makes it free from ego. Only by
reducing his wants and overcoming
jealousy and envy can man reduce
his ego, since to overpower the ego
otherwise is well-nigh impossible.
