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

The essence of every form is the deathless. Even the essence of a blade of grass is the deathless. And that's why the world of form is sacred.

You have to be still for a moment to even notice that there is silence outside.

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?

Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

This, too, will pass.
