“Meditation is humility - the absence of thought, doubt, and ego.” DoubtMeditationHumilityBuddhismEgoAbsence Author:Frederick Lenz
“The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence, in its bliss, clarity, peace, and most important of all, complete absence of grasping. The diminishing of grasping in yourself is a sign that you are becoming freer of yourself. And the more you experience this freedom, the clearer the sign that the ego and the hopes and fears that keep it alive are dissolving, and the closer you will come to the infinitely generous "wisdom of egolessness."” ImportantRealLyingPeaceMeditationAliveBecomingEgoGloryMethodAbsenceClarityBlissGenerousGraspingHopes And FearsDissolving Author:Sogyal Rinpoche
“Ego means self-identification with thinking, to be trapped in thought, which means to have a mental image of "me" based on thought and emotions. So ego is there in the absence of a witnessing presence.” ThinkingMeanSelfEmotionEgoAbsenceTrappedIdentificationThoughts And Emotions Author:Eckhart Tolle

“Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.” IfsNeedsPersonsProblemCareJobsPastPeaceOne DayEgoSolutionsDeserveAbsencePermitVacationNo ProblemEmployers Author:Maya Angelou
“If I love the other person, I feel one with him or her, but with him as he is, not as I need him to be as an object for my use. Respect thus implies the absence of exploitation: it allows the other to be, to change and to develop 'in his own ways.' This requires a commitment to know the other as a separate being, and not merely as a reflection of my own ego. According to Velleman this loving willingness and ability to see the other as they really are is foregrounded in our willingness to risk self-exposure.” IfsKnowsWayNeedsFeelsPersonsSelfUseMy OwnAbilityRiskObjectsEgoReflectionCommitmentAbsenceWillingnessExploitationExposureAbility To SeeI Need Him Author:Erich Fromm
“With your ego you cannot know. Only in an egolessness, in a deep abyss, in the absence of the ego, does the perception happen - then you become a mirror. With the ego you will always interpret, you cannot know the truth. With the ego you will always be there interpreting in subtle ways, and your interpretation is not the truth. You are the medium of all falsification. Through you everything becomes false. When you are not there, the true reflects.” KnowsWayDoeHappensSpiritualityBeliefEgoPerceptionMirrorsAbsenceMediumsManifestationSubtleInterpretationAbyssInterpretingFalsification Author:Rajneesh
“Meditation is like light: when meditation comes, politics disappears. So you cannot be meditative and political. That is impossible: you are asking for the impossible. Meditation is not one pole: it is the absence of all conflict, all ambition, all ego trips.” LightPoliticalMeditationImpossibleConflictEgoAmbitionAskingDisappearAbsenceCalmingEgo Trip Author:Rajneesh
“Desire, liberated from its ties to the ego, realizes that it has no other aspiration than the fullness of Mahamudra and, as it sees in the same impulse that this plenitude is innate and limitless, it no longer aspires to any realization whatsoever. There is no longer anything but intimate vibration, continuous sacred tremoring, and the absence of localization in time and space.” DesireRealizingSpaceEgoSacredAbsenceRealizationImpulseTiesIntimateAspirationAspireTime And SpaceInnateLimitlessFullnessVibrationsLiberatedPlenitude Author:Daniel Odier
