How To Overcome The Ego? By Dr. Harsh K. Luthar
Bhagavan Sri Ramana used to say that all techniques of meditation and concentration presuppose the retention of the ego/mind. Bhagavan used to joke that employing the ego/mind to overcome the ego/mind is like hiring a thief, who is all dressed up as a policeman, to catch the thief. The policeman will pretend to make herculean efforts to catch the thief, give periodic reports of progress, but will fail each time (since the policeman is the thief!)
Discover Your Soul – Yogi Bhajan
http://www.sikhnet.com/dvd In this talk, the Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan) talks about meditation as a tool for mental clarity. “If you do not find God within yourself, you do not find God at all.” Instead of looking for your “soul mate” he says that when you connect to your own soul, then you understand that “Your very own soul is your soul mate.” He also talks about the problem of information overload in the computer age and how to deal with it.
VIMALAKIRTI NIRDESA SUTRA -
The Dharma-Door of Nonduality

translated by Robert A. F. Thurman
copyright 1976, The Pennsylvania State University
The sutra tells the story of the lay householder Vimalakirti who lives a worldly life while following the bodhisattva path, and it is famous for its razor-sharp dialogue and paradox about non-duality. It is also renowned for ridiculing those who believe women to be inferior to men on the spiritual path.

Maharaj: Before anything can come into being there must be somebody to whom it comes. All appearance and disappearance presupposes a change against some changeless background. Q: Before waking up I was unconscious.
