“The ego never dies. Even when I was new and desperate, it told me I was different from the other members in the group. The ego encourages separation. It Eliminates Genuine Openness.”
If you aren’t humble, whatever empathy you claim is false and probably results from some arrogance or the desire to control. But true empathy is rooted in humility and the understanding that there are many people with as much to contribute in life as you.
— Anand Mahindra
Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed: irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
— Plaque on Dr. Bob’s desk
