“I” is a dog.

“I” is a dog.

“I” is our perpetually demanding pet; we have become its slave.

Just like a dog, “I” needs to be pampered (kept happy) all the time.

If “I” feels bad, it won’t let you rest until you find ways to make it happy again.

“I” is always hungry and needs full attention.

It always needs to be recognized by others; recognition is its food.

Every experience you go through, “I” accompanies you, and like a dog, it sniffs out each experience in detail: what is in it for me? If there is, it won’t let you walk away. It (Ego) wants to stay only where it gets recognized.

Mind is matter, and Shunyata is spiritual; they can never meet.

They are like oil and water, sky and earth.

A horizon gives the illusion that the sky and earth meet at some point; they never do.

Our life is that horizon; the mind takes you to the earth, and the soul takes you to the spirit.

You can’t have both; choose the best.
