So the greatest and continuous obstacle in the way of our progress to love is egotism. Until egotism completely dies, you can’t have true love for anyone. You must leave far behind you the billows of the ocean of egotism, so that you can bask in the air which comes to you from the kingdom of love. He who loves himself, who is full of self-admiration, who considers himself as the most important of all, can’t love others. To love others means to forget yourself, to always go beyond yourself, to consider yourself as nothing. The love of others is consolidated in us by uninterrupted repentance and humility.
