“To be a spiritual warrior, one must have a broken heart; without a broken heart and the sense of tenderness and vulnerability, your warriorship is untrustworthy.” Chogyam Trungpa “Make yourself more different than others and be quiet in your work” SSK “What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp the unconditional meaningfulness of life in rational terms.” Frankl

Our vast collections of knowledge and experience are just part of ego’s display, part of the grandiose quality of ego. We display them to the world and, in so doing, reassure ourselves that we exist, safe and secure, as “spiritual” people.

-Chögyam Trungpa

the ego is so clever it can convert the spiritual path itself into just another possession or badge of honor, turning enlightenment into a project for self-improvement rather than true egolessness.

The Irony of the Path: According to Trungpa, true spirituality is about letting go of these ego-driven props. Because the ego translates everything into its own terms, we may deeply study the path while entirely avoiding the actual dissolution of the self.
