Destruction of the ego

Q: How is the ego to be destroyed?
A: Hold the ego first and then ask how it is to be destroyed. Who asks the question? It is the ego. This question is a sure way to cherish the ego and not to kill it. If you seek the ego you will find that it does not exist. That is the way to destroy it.

— Sri Ramana Maharshi from Be As You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi

The Real

The unreal never comes to be,
The real does never cease to be.
The certainty of both of these
Is known to those who see the truth.

— Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 16

Knowledge

Power rests on the kind of knowledge that one holds. What is the sense of knowing things that are useless? They will not prepare us for our unavoidable encounter with the unknown.

— Don Juan from Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan

Seeing

Everyone can see, and yet we choose not to remember what we see.

— Don Juan from Carlos Castaneda's The Second Ring of Power

Nothing to fear

The worst that could happen to us is that we have to die, and since that is already our unalterable fate, we are free; those who have lost everything no longer have anything to fear.

— Don Juan from Carlos Castaneda's The Fire From Within
