“If you cannot be at ease with yourself when you are alone, you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. It will then reappear in some other form within the relationship, and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it. In the state of enlightenment, you *are* yourself. There is no "self" that you need to protect, defend, or feed anymore. When you are enlightened, there is one relationship you no longer have: the relationship with yourself.”

“For every relationship, when two people come together it is always for the purpose of knowing the self better, Everyone at all the different times in your life has things to offer you; they have opportunities to present to you and you to them. Relationships are mirrors for us: We often see in another what we must learn for ourselves. It is a brilliant system--in helping yourself, you are also helping your friend. What does it feel like to call a friend now, after this new realization?”
