THE VALUE OF SYMBOLS

  REACHING THE ABSOLUTE THROUGH THE CONCRETE Everything can be valueless, and everything can be invaluable. There is a significant difference between the two words.

STRETCHING THE EGO

  It is a misconception that one must get rid of one’s ego to fulfil one’s potential. That is not possible. If man remains an embodied being, there will be ego. In the grosser person, the ego would be expressed in a gross value, and in a more...
