Gurudev, I want to have purity in my heart, and clarity in my mind. I want to be a good human being. How to get rid of deep rooted self-centeredness?
You are a good person otherwise you wouldn’t have even asked this question. Know that you have all the good qualities in you. You don’t have to make an effort to bring out the good qualities. Simply assume that you have them.
Don’t examine yourself too much and too often. When you feel you’re getting a little selfish, do some random acts of kindness that would make others happy. That is all! It is so simple.
Whenever you feel that you have only been thinking about yourself, join a seva team. There are so many seva projects happening. Spend one day in some underdeveloped area, or go to a slum area as a group. This will bring joy, contentment and satisfaction. Engage in any kind of service activity. The world needs you and your help.
