Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.
Eckhart TolleIf the only teacher you have is your suffering, you will need a substantial dose of it for the ego to dissolve. But if the power of spiritual teaching is already at work, then a minor event can dissolve the ego.
Eckhart TolleNarrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems - most life situations are - but find out if you have a problem at this moment. Do you have a problem now?
Eckhart Tolle
