Piyavadana

We must be the master of our minds instead of being the slaves of it. The reason for this is that we are the slaves of the ego and the ego is ignorant. It is not on our side, it just wants to think it exists. So, the more we feel strongly these afflictive emotions, the more powerful is the sense of “I“. Conversely, when the sense of “I” begins to dissolve and melt away, likewise our desire and anger melt away too. It’s all held together by this sense of “me”.
