"With humility comes the willingness
to stop trying to control or change
other people or life situations or events
ostensibly 'for their own good'.
To be a committed spiritual seeker,
it is necessary to relinquish the desire
to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society.
In fact, nobody's ego or belief systems
are of any value to society at all.
The world is neither good nor bad
nor defective,
nor is it in need of help or modification
because its appearance is only a projection
of one's own mind.
No such world exists."
