> "The object of the whole previous evolution has been to produce 
the ego as a manifestation of the Monad. Then the ego in its turn 
evolves by putting itself down into a succession of personalities. 
Men who do not understand this look upon the personality as the self, 
and consequently live for it alone, and try to regulate their lives 
for what appears to be its temporary advantage. The man who 
understands realizes that the only important thing is the life of the 
ego, and that its progress is the object for which the temporary 
personality must be used. Therefore when he has to decide between two 
possible courses he thinks not, as the ordinary man might: "Which 
will bring the greater pleasure and profit to me as a personality?" 
but "Which will bring greater progress to me as an ego?" Experience 
soon teaches him that nothing can ever be really good for him, or for 
any one, which is not good for all, and so presently he learns to 
forget himself altogether, and to ask only what will be best for 
humanity as a whole.

Clearly then at this stage of evolution whatever tends to unity, 
whatever tends to spirituality, is in accord with the plan of the 
Deity for us, and is therefore right for us, while whatever tends to 
separateness or to materiality is certainly equally wrong for us. 
There are thoughts and emotions which tend to unity, such as love, 
sympathy, reverence, benevolence; (Page 110) there are others which 
tend to disunion, such as hatred, jealousy, envy, pride, cruelty, 
fear. Obviously the former group are for us the right, the latter 
group are for us the wrong.

all these thoughts and feelings which are clearly wrong, we recognize 
one dominant note, the thought of self; while in all those which are 
clearly right we recognize that the thought is turned toward others, 
and that the personal self is forgotten. Wherefore we see that 
selfishness is the one great wrong, and that perfect unselfishness is 
the crown of all virtue. This gives us at once a rule of life. The 
man who wishes intelligently to co-operate with the Divine Will must 
lay aside all thought of the advantage or pleasure of the personal 
self, and must devote himself exclusively to carrying out that Will 
by working for the welfare and happiness of others."
