the dissolved ego...


Vernon Howard's
SECRETS OF LIFE

**********************************************************************

"If I don't have a compulsive need to appear successful,

what do I care if you
make more money than I?

If I have no unhealthy attraction to shallow social
functions, does it bother me if I get no invitations?

If I have freedom from
fearful dependency upon persons and objects,

will I be pained if you no longer
wish to be my friend?

If my artificial needs fall away through self- insight, do
I need to think about these things at all?

No.

If my false sense of 'I' has dissolved, who is there to suffer or complain?"
