The delusion at the core of all of our suffering

[Guest guest]

There¹s one great delusion that lies at the core

of all of our suffering: the false belief in the reality

of the separation of life and in the subsequent

true existence of an individual ego.

 

All fervent attempts to control or to mortify this

illusory ego through penance, rituals and sacrifice,

however, will only serve to intensify the delusion

that this ego is actually very real and that it only

needs to be, somehow, subdued, conquered or

destroyed.
