The point isn't to deny our Egos, but to extricate ourselves from our exclusive preoccupation with them.
Ram DassI am not this body. I am in this body, and this is part of my incarnation and I honor it but that isn't who I am.
Ram DassWhen you want to become free, your righteousness and anger are much less interesting than they used to be.
Ram DassAfter meditating for some years, I began to see the patterns of my own behavior. As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the nature of your own resistance more clearly, struggles, inner dialogues, the way in which you procrastinate and develop passive resistance against life. As you cultivate the witness, things change. You don't have to change them. Things just change.
