Where there is ‘egoism’, there is no God. Where there is God, there is no ‘egoism’.

About This Quote

I think the whole world knows what egotism is. And Mr. M.K. Gandhi is declaring it as such, without any filth or any injustice.

It means to be selfish and arrogant. It means to do anything that you want and then claim that it’s yours and your God’s work. It means to be the greatest and always to boast about everything and boast about everything and claim everything as your own, because you are great.

That is egoism, and it is wrong. And I believe that man cannot live without God, because without God no one can feel great, no one can feel necessary, no one can feel life-giving, nothing can give man the strength and the strength which will give him the power to rule others and to rule others just because he is great or he is important or his opinion is important or his ideas are important or his work is important or his wealth is important.
