About This Quote

When the ego is in the driver’s seat, we judge. When our spirit, our authentic self, is in control, we practice listening (without judging), compassion, and love. This quote is about the difference between judging and listening. The ego that judges can be quite strong and when it does there is no room to listen to the other person.

The ego judges because it wants to be right and when it cannot be right it judges in order to make up its own reality. It can be hard for us to listen when we are in the driving seat and judge the other person when we are in our authentic selves.
