Paul Brunton Quotes About Ego

• The source of wisdom and power, of love and beauty, is within ourselves, but not within our egos. It is within our consciousness. Indeed, its presence provides us with a conscious contrast which enables us to speak of the ego as if it were something different and apart: it is the true Self whereas the ego is only an illusion of the mind.

  Paul Brunton (1987). “The Notebooks of Paul Brunton: The ego. From birth to rebirth”

• Si investigas el asunto con suficiente profundidad y amplitud, descubrirás que la felicidad elude a casi todos los hombres a pesar de que siempre la están buscando. Los pocos afortunados y exitosos son aquellos que han dejado de buscar sólo con el ego y permiten que la búsqueda sea dirigida interiormente por el yo superior. Sólo ellos pueden encontrar una felicidad sin defectos ni deficiencias, un Bien Supremo que no es una fuente más de dolor y tristeza, sino una fuente inagotable de satisfacción y paz.
