The Self is found when the ego is surrendered. It is like the sun appearing after the clouds have moved away.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Sayings
Meaning:
We do not create the Self through effort. We allow it to appear by surrendering our pride and our need for control. Humility is the fastest path to realization.

Daily Application

Practice surrendering your need to be right or to be noticed. Every time you let go of your ego, you clear a cloud from your inner sky. The Self will shine through on its own.
