The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.
Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle

You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.
Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle
