The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.

True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.

You can marry the Buddha, and after a few months you will find on the human form the Buddha, too, has his limitations. There may be things that the mind reacts to and irritates you about the Buddha. "Why is he sitting over there in meditation?"

Suffering needs time. It cannot survive in the now.

A person dies, or something you had identified with completely is gone. Your home goes up in flames. There is extreme pain at first. But whenever a form dissolves, which is called "death," what remains is an opening into emptiness.

When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realises its own Source and returns home into the Unmanifested.
