Dedicating Beyond Yourself · Loosening the Ego's Grip
Meaning
"With the utterance of "Tat," and without seeking any reward, various acts of sacrifice, austerity, and charity are performed by those desiring liberation."

Dedicating your efforts to something beyond your personal gain — calling it "That," the vast whole — is a way of loosening the ego's grip on even your good deeds.
