"Any spiritual life, any techniques work only for the growth of ego, if a person's main goal is not unity with the Creator and the growth of love in the soul. No matter how hard a man works with himself, whatever spiritual practices he does, his personality remains unchanged. The greater a man's spiritual capacities, the greater the importance of his human self to him.
The essence of development is the transformation of the soul. For this, it is necessary to keep and grow love in the soul and accept the Divine will.
The angel became a devil when he put love for his own self first and love for God second, when he decided that his self must be eternal. But the essence of the process of development is that we must lose everything, including our own 'self' and be reborn through love of God.
For this reason, the main condition for overcoming pride is detachment from one's self, the willingness to lose one's self for the sake of loving God, the willingness to destroy one's human self in order to keep the Divine self...."
