The heart becomes wide by forgetting the self, and narrow by thinking of the self and by pitying one's self. To gain a wide and broad heart you must have something before you to look upon and to rest your intelligence upon, and that something is the God ideal. This is the prescription for killing the self, and to kill the self is the basis of every religion. Then, keeping your self before your consciousness and by resting your consciousness on God, God who is unlimited will come to you; and thus your knowledge and your powers will become unlimited also.
