Every human being is a microcosm of the whole. So who and what we are (as individuals), is a reflection of who and what the whole is. The ego ignores this and creates the illusion that the individual is somehow disconnected and not needing of any help or coexistence. It does not consider the consequence of its actions upon others. It is the antithesis of a holistic world. Altruism is the realization that everyone needs each other, and everyone is necessary for the good of all – it desires a holistic integrated world.
How do we change from being egoist to altruist? How do we start the transition? What is the first step? Simply put is work on the desire. Change the desire, the “heart”. The heart represents the sum total of our desires. We know the heart cannot change overnight. It can change slowly.
Ask yourself: Are there intensions in your life that are not in sync with your actions?
