Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

~ Osho
Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.

What is the ego? Enquire. The body is insentient and cannot say `I'. The Self is pure consciousness and non-dual. It cannot say `I'. No one says `I' in sleep. What is the ego then? It is something intermediate between the inert body and the Self. It has no locus standi. If sought for it vanishes like a ghost.
~ Ramana Maharshi

Love exists for all.

~ Deepak Chopra
Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love.

Thinking, or more precisely identification with thinking, gives rise to and maintains the ego, which, in our Western society in particular, is out of control.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Looking at a sunset, just for a second you forget your separateness: you are the sunset. That is the moment when you feel the beauty of it. But the moment you say that it is a beautiful sunset, you are no longer feeling it; you have come back to your separate, enclosed entity of the ego. Now the mind is speaking. And this is one of the mysteries, that the mind can speak, and knows nothing; and the heart knows everything, and cannot speak.
~ Rajneesh
Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.

~ Norm MacDonald
Many could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, etcetera. It is the ego they cannot forgo.

I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time.

An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence.
