ego

The ego is never your friend.

The ego exists only to confuse you and confound you. 

That is why it appears to exist. 

But to whom does the ego exist? 

Only to the mind.

Destroy the mind by not thinking about it. 

If you do not think about the mind it becomes weaker and weaker 

and finally it's totally annihilated. 

For everything works by itself. 

It takes care of itself, in its own time and in its own place.

That is why I emphasize so much, turn into yourself. 

Never try to solve your problems. 

You cannot do it, 

rather know yourself, 

be yourself 

and see if any problems disturb you at all. 

If you would only turn within yourself and stop trying to 

change other people or 

change conditions or 

change behavior patterns. 

Leave these things alone. 

Be yourself ! 

Love yourself ! 

Worship yourself !

And then see what happens to you.
