Becoming Like Deities: The Journey from Ego to Politeness

Apart from this, in the Golden Age and the Silver Age, there was an incomparable, limitless wealth – not just of money and possessions, but of virtues, happiness, and inner satisfaction. Every soul was overflowing with purity, royalty, and divine dignity. What is today’s wealth in comparison to that? Today, even those we call kings, ministers, and so-called “royals” are actually poor in the true sense. They may have money, status, and external comfort, but their hearts are empty and restless. Compared to that elevated Satyugi stage, our present condition is such that we are not even equal to the servants of that time.

 

The same applies to family, lineage, and caste. Today, no matter how high, respected, or powerful a family or caste may appear, they are all lower than the Satyugi Suryavanshi dynasties or the Silver-Age Chandravanshi dynasties. Why? Because today’s lineages are filled with the vices of lust, anger, greed, attachment, and ego. Every house is full of conflict, sorrow, and dissatisfaction. People carry heavy burdens of worries and problems. In contrast, the Suryavanshi and Chandravanshi families were overflowing with purity, peace, and divine love. There was no trace of vice, no shadow of sorrow. Their homes were like living temples.

 

So what comparison can there really be between today’s castes and the elevated Sangamyugi Brahmin families, who are God’s direct children receiving divine knowledge? And if we talk of the Godly family itself, that is an even higher, completely different level. To belong to God’s family is to belong to the highest, purest royal clan of the entire cycle. Therefore, a truly knowledgeable person, one who understands this spiritual reality, should be even more humble and polite than a Satyugi deity. The more elevated the soul becomes, the more gentle, simple, and ego-free it should appear.

I myself was from an ordinary, poor family in this world. There was no special name, fame, or status attached to me. But now, through spiritual knowledge and God’s company, I am becoming pure. My inner state is changing. In this light, what value does today’s status, name, or worldly position really have in front of the pure and royal Satyugi souls? Today’s titles seem so temporary and fragile.

Just think: where are those holy deities of the Golden Age – souls filled with divine virtues, natural royalty, and constant happiness – and where are today’s people, many of whom live and behave almost like monsters? Where are those pure, royal, lotus-like souls, untouched by vice, and where are today’s poor, desperate, and needy ones, who are thirsty for a little love, respect, and peace? This sharp contrast awakens us from within. It motivates us to become truly humble, to give up false ego, and to make effort to become like deities. Only then can we attain the real name, fame, and position that God bestows – a status that remains for many births.

Now, you might think: if someone in today’s world receives name and fame, and they accept it in their mind—meaning, they start believing, “I am very great, I am special, I am above others”—then slowly, ego starts to grow within. Their words become hard, their behavior becomes dry, and their simplicity disappears. After a few days, people begin to say, “Sahib has become very egoistic now. Ever since he got success, his life and his nature have started deteriorating. He is not the same as before.” Thus, the very name and fame that could have been a blessing becomes the cause of downfall when it is accepted with ego.

 

On the other hand, if someone receives name, fame, and respect from people, but does not allow it to enter their heart—if they remain detached and humble, seeing everything as God’s grace—then people begin to love and respect that person even more deeply. They think, “Look how noble this person is! People give him so much respect, yet he stays so grounded, so down to earth. There is no pride in his eyes, only simplicity and sweetness.” Such a person becomes a true example for society, a living proof that greatness and humility can go hand in hand.

 

So honestly ask yourself: is ego good, or is egolessness and politeness better? Does ego bring us respect, or does it secretly eat away our relationships and peace? When we look carefully, we see that ego isolates us, while humility brings us closer to God and to others.

 

Then, what should we actually do to properly cultivate the quality of politeness and deep humility within ourselves?Remember your true spiritual identity – Again and again, remind yourself: “I am a soul, a child of God, originally pure, peaceful, and loveful.” When we remember who we truly are, the false labels of body, caste, status, and position start to lose their grip. Humility is natural for one who is stable in soul-consciousness.

 

See everyone as a soul – When we look at others not as bodies or positions, but as souls playing different roles, respect automatically arises. We stop comparing and competing and start understanding and cooperating. Politeness then becomes a natural expression.

 

Give credit to God, not to the self – Whatever qualities, talents, or successes we have, understand that they are gifts from God and from the drama of life. When you sincerely feel, “It is His grace, not my greatness,” then ego has no space to grow.

 

Practice soft, respectful speech – Decide that your words will be gentle, encouraging, and respectful. Even in conflict, speak with patience. Gradually, your nature will become sweet, and people will feel peace in your company.

 

Stay in the company of elevated souls – Spend time reading, listening to, and being around those who are truly humble and wise. Their vibrations will influence you and inspire you to adopt the same virtues.

 

Regular self-checking – At the end of the day, ask yourself: “Did I hurt anyone’s heart? Did I speak with ego? Did I insist on being right?” Then, with honesty, decide to improve the next day. This gentle checking and changing makes humility firm. 

 

Through such efforts, the quality of politeness doesn’t remain just a word or a lecture—it becomes a living fragrance in our personality. Then, step by step, we move away from the present, sorrowful world of vice and come closer to that divine stage of the Satyugi deities, earning the true, imperishable name, fame, and position that God wishes to bestow on us.
