"Frenzied activity is fear — fear of the loss of ego, the concept of selfhood so desperately nurtured by seeking self-esteem in the eyes of others. But the world doesn’t fall apart when you surrender your ego, in fact it begins to assume a harmony.
"Only the harmony is very very quiet, and you have to really slow down in order to catch it. In the presence of the loudness or bustle of ego it is silent — and the mental space it creates well-nigh unbearable to the activity addict. However, stillness isn’t emptiness, but a vacuum into which you draw the stardust. If you can live without ego in the company of others you have dissolved the division between subject and object and so may enter or experience anything without loss of identity."
