Can we get God by leaving selfishness and limitations?

The soul by itself is limited and is a small item of energy. It is impossible to leave the limitations. You can leave the selfishness by effort. But when the goal is not God such sacrifice of selfishness is also a waste. Some social workers without devotion to God (good politicians) sacrifice selfishness. Such people reach temporary heaven only. They will not reach the eternal abode of God. Mother Theresa did social service as a part of divine mission and reached the abode of God.

Your quesion: "Can we get God by leaving selfishness...?"

No - Our works don't obtain salvation. Salvation is by faith through grace. After we are Christians we should live selfless lives, and put God first.
