When we take one step toward the Self, It takes nine steps towards us.

The facade is the ego. It is motivated by our seeking love. The only reward is frustration, as it is only by loving that one finds love.

Every problem is an ego problem. In order to have a problem there has to be an ego-frustration.

Once you realize how effortless the highest way of life is, it takes tremendous effort to assume the opposite.

Growth is transcending yourself, your habitual self, which is none other than ego.

There is more pain from holding on to the thought of pain than there is in the situation itself. If you let the world strike you, it will do so less cruelly than your own imagination.

Every time you feel miserable, there is present an excellent opportunity to make a big step forward.
