enclosed entity of the ego.
Now the mind is speaking.

what anyone else thinks or does.

not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

That is what is called ecstasy.

we need to become our own loving teacher and coach.
Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,
we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.
