The ego is the animal in us, the heritage of the flesh which
is full of selfish desires. By obeying laws of God, seeking to live the life
laid down in our teachings, and pray and struggle, we can subdue our egos. We
call people "saints" who have achieved the highest degree of mastery
over their egos.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi published in ‘Unfolding
Destiny’)
