“I imagine standing in the center of this house of mirrors and looking at my infinite reflections. Each of the personalities we live, if they are just reflections on the mirror, then they are illusions. What we strive for is to unlearn the vocabulary, energy, and awareness of each of these reflections to reach our dissolving ‘self’, the one standing in the center. The observer.”

“Everything in that flow – the many pains and pleasures – are just an ephemeral burst of energy. At the end of it, they are as much on the fabric of nothingness as life. It means nothing. We mean nothing. The atman has a purpose, not the identity we assume.”

“The baggage of past memories, the present contradictions, and the many choices from the future. “They are all just words,” I say, as I become aware of my breath. My bong feels ignored, my mind feels betrayed and the incessant pain in my chest ceases. I drop everything. I let go.”
