How to come out of self-centeredness and reach towards God?

Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swāmi, Swāmi, how to come out of self-centeredness and self-protective behaviour so that I can walk towards God?

Swāmi Replied:- As long as the soul is in worldly life, self-centeredness is inevitable. The influence of worldly bonds brings multiplicity of the bonds in the mind. The self becomes the centre of such worldly bonds with which the self is entangled. In Spiritual life, the bond with God is very powerful and even the self gets dissolved in such powerful single bond with God. In the madness of devotion to God, the self dissolves.
