Ego

is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.
-Deep Trivedi

that it just does not know.
-Deep Trivedi

someone's ego, then along with him, even you will be badly trapped.
-Deep Trivedi
Where egoism exists, Thou are not experienced. Where Thou art, is not egoism. You who are learned, expound in your mind, this inexpressible proposition.
