"Be alert always, recognizing the fact that human life is intended solely for realization of God. By surrendering yourself to the Divine within you and outside everywhere about you, open yourself to receive Grace which is ever flowing from God. What you have to do is, by making your heart open and receptive, allow it to enter into you and transform you into the being of God Himself. Believe that God is all in all. It is by His power alone all things happen and all movements take place. It is the ego that stands in the way of our attaining the higher Consciousness and Bliss. Get rid of the ego by laying it at the feet of the Almighty."

What is egotistical about it?
Jesus said it himself....teaching a man to fish is better than giving him fish.

I would disagree again.
To take care of ones own self is the best one can do. If everyone had that goal and tried to improve their own lives there would not be much need for people to help.
By providing service to others you enable their deficiencies.
