Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda

The difference between God and the devil is in nothing except in unselfishness and selfishness. The devil knows as much as God, is as powerful as God only he has no holiness that makes him a devil. Apply the same idea to the modern world: excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils.

We often pray for purity, unselfishness, for the highest qualities of character, and forget that these things cannot be given, but must be earned.

A termination of one's life is necessary in the scheme of things to provide a logical reason for unselfishness. . . . The fact that there is an end to one's life compels one to take an interest in things that will continue to live after one is dead.

The goodness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.
