The selfishness must be discovered and understood before it can be removed. It is powerless to remove itself, neither will it pass away of itself. Darkness ceases only when light is introduced; so ignorance can only be dispersed by Knowledge; selfishness by Love.
James Allen
If at the end of the week's work, and on receiving his wages, he were to ask his employer for a larger sum, pleading that, though he could not justly claim it and did not really deserve it, yet he expected it, he would not only receive the larger sum but would, doubtless, be discharged from his post. Yet in spiritual things men do not think it to be either foolish or selfish to ask for these blessings
work men spiritual blessings end foolish selfishness things selfish receiving deserve
light knowledge darkness ignorance selfishness love
Self is ingenious, crooked, and, governed by subtle and snaky desire, admits of endless turnings and qualifications, and the deluded worshippers of self vainly imagine that they can gratify every worldly desire, and at the same time possess the Truth
truth time desire selfishness imagine possess
When men, lost in the devious ways of error and self, have forgotten the heavenly birth,.. They set up artificial standards by which to judge one another
birth men lost selfishness judge standards error forgotten
