What is the way to overcome or sublimate this selfishness?

What is the way to overcome
or sublimate this selfishness?

For this, first, we should
have a proper evaluation,
a proper understanding of our body, senses, mind, etc.

They are not ourselves.
In ignorance we identify ourselves with them.

They are our vestures,
they are like the dress we wear.

The body is not we,
the sensory organs are not we;
the mind is not we; They are merely our vestures.
That is why we say, "this is my body, etc."
We never say "I am the body".

We should therefore try to
realize that we are really apart.
The self that is apart from these is
the real entity in us, and we are that.
