How to Eliminate Self-Grasping?

Only when self-grasping is completely eliminated and dharma-grasping is completely eliminated can one be thoroughly without self; otherwise, the self within the mind will not cease. When one is thoroughly without self, the manas completely accomplishes the transformation of consciousness into wisdom. With a self, wisdom is not ultimate, and there is still ignorance and delusion. The heavier the self, the heavier the nature of ignorance and delusion. If you wish to eliminate ignorance and delusion and eliminate self-grasping, you must give more consideration to others and not have every thought revolve around yourself. It will not do for the mind to contain nothing but the self and no others.
