The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist.

When you are fully conscious, drama does not come into your life anymore.

The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

Vigilance in oneself is very important. Vigilance means to be alert to what happens inside, so you can catch an old, collective habit pattern.

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

Become intensely conscious of the present moment.
