Your ego is better than the ego of a saint; your ego is better, far better - because your ego is very gross, and the gross ego can be understood and dropped more easily than the subtle. The subtle ego goes on playing such games that it is very difficult. One will need absolute awareness to watch it.”

“That Is All I Ask
Hold my trembling hand
I am now ailing
Do not let me fall
Indeed, I am weak
When I struggle to see afar
Show me the way
If I sometimes cry
Wipe the tears on my cheeks
Whilst words skip my lips
Hear my voice as I whisper;
“It is me! It is me!
Please help me out.”
For I am no longer young
But old enough
Would you take care of me?
I require you to be there
Like a child needs a parent
Stand by me, time and again
That is all I ask”
