Dissolving the Last Remnants of Ego
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion, who, rather than chasing the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.” When we look at our ‘reality’ – the world out there, with its trials, its tribulations, its annoyances, its pains, we see the thoughts we have already put into the mill to be used for grist which turns into reality, and then we chase after the reality created by those thoughts as if that will change what we experience, but the lion knows it is the thrower of the stick – the maker of the thoughts – that creates reality. The ego will have us see things in reverse, upside down, in every way but RIGHT.
