Question: Is egoism important for our development?

Answer: Egoism is not merely important for development, there is nothing besides it. It must not be suppressed; it must develop.

We must be concerned with its correction and proper use, not with suppressing it, because egoism is our nature, the desire to receive. It is impossible to destroy it.

The entire world is one great ego operating on different levels: still, vegetative, animate, and speaking. And the purpose of the world is to come to the full utilization of the power of egoism, not to destroy it.

Do you want to destroy matter itself? That is impossible! You can turn a person into a plant by giving him the appropriate injection. Of course, he will feel less and suffer less, but how long can such a state be maintained, even with the help of various methods?

Therefore, neither religions nor various methodologies are the solution. This is already becoming clear.
