Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Messages of Shirdi Sai Baba to Yogi Spencer on 11th November 1952 Discourse No. (9) Self-effacement is the flower of perfection. Self-effacement is the flower of perfection. Egotism is the bane of life- It is the devil in man. masquerading as Virtue, It is the negation of the life of the spirit- It is the monarch of ignorance. It leads to strifes, animosities, vulgarities, insipid strivings and vain glory. Discard the ego and be humble in life. Humility is the crown and sceptre of wisdom. It is the badge of spirituality. If you wish to rise and reach the higher step in the ladder of spirituality> discard the trappings of the ego and seek God and God alone and not the applause of your vile and wicked world. Self-effacement is the garment woven in the fabric of humility. It is worn by those, who love God in purity of heart and soul.
