That's why it's better to define selflessness as thinking beyond our body's welfare

we don't have the smarts to do that imo

if i claim such and such is in your best interests, i am indulging in educated guesswork

the only one who knows what works for me is me

of course i take advice but ultimately i am sovereign

Quote

as it is impossible to be selfless in absolute terms.

spiritual work is realizing you are forever selfless

Quote

The state of Self-realization is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are, and which you always have been. All that is needed is that you give up your realization of the not-true as true.

All of us are realizing, i.e., regarding as real, that which is not real. We have only to give up this practice on our part. Then we shall realize the Self as the Self, or in other words, ‘Be the Self’. Ramana Maharshi, Day by Day with Bhagavan

Or realising selfishness to some level is a good or sometimes the best thing. I don't know what is that level though. For now, it's helping someone other than yourself without directly or the desire to directly benefitting from it.

i act selfish for the play but stay selfless the whole day

and these two in no way relate to each other since the absolute me is selfless namely has no self

selfish is the extent to which i try to manipulate the play to self gratify

God is infinitely intelligent, speaking to itself through all manifestations.

This is Love.

It was always infinitely intelligent.

That's the magic of God.
