The sensual ego is blind and deaf to God. (M IV 235)

The whole Koran describes the wickedness of egos: Study the Holy Book! Where is your insight? (M VI 4862) [1]
Concern yourself not with the thieflike ego and its business. Whatever is not God's work is nothing, nothing! (M II 1063) [2]
The bird that escapes from the trap of its ego has no fear, wherever it may fly. (D 7327).[3]
