The more successful you become, the more the demands of your ego will increase. In the beginning, you simply want to succeed, but your ego will not be satisfied. When you become a little more successful your ego wants to kill your competition. And when you become even more successful, it wants to make you the universal king. There's no telling what ego wants because our desire doesn't have any limit; therefore, its demands continually increase.
Gelek RimpocheThe capability of human life is beyond our imagination. What counts is the human capacity to investigate and transform our own mind and the world around us in a powerful and positive direction.
Gelek RimpocheThat's the ego talking. But it's not the real you. You are a good and wonderful person. You are kind. You have a compassionate nature.
Gelek RimpocheThe ego prevents us from helping ourselves by presenting a false notion of what it really means to help ourselves.
