The saint is a (wo)man
who disciplines the ego.
The sage is a (wo)man
who loses the ego.
Wu Wei Wei
How can we discipline the self? Who is the one who minds what is going on, and who is the authority who disciplines?
How can we lose the self? On the inside, can we fall back into the silence before thought? On the outside, can we see Oneness in action?
We discipline the ego until we realize the futility to be at war with ourselves. We stumble on Oneness and open up to it. Suddenly, its presence is obvious.
