There’s no clinging to that which dies. For who we are, was, is and will be, these are just processes of transformation. Just like it’s hard for a pre-pubescent to understand that a time will come when his baseball cards aren’t that relevant; so the time will come when even our mortal coil is not that relevant.

“Precisamos nos harmonizar com a natureza e resgatar a nossa naturalidade. Porque, em algum momento, nós perdemos a naturalidade e nos tornamos artificiais. Isso ocorreu porque fomos contaminados pelo medo e deixamos de confiar na vida. Então desenvolvemos máscaras através das quais nos protegemos e fingimos ser algo que não somos para agradar alguém; para conseguirmos alguma coisa em troca. E o que nós queremos em troca é amor. Este é o grande medo: o de não sermos amados.” 

“Necesitamos armonizarnos con la naturaleza y rescatar nuestra naturalidad. Porque en algún momento, perdimos la naturalidad y nos volvimos artificiales. Esto ocurrió porque fuimos contaminados por el miedo y dejamos de confiar en la vida.

Y lo que nosotros queremos a cambio es amor. Este es el gran miedo: el de no ser amados.” 

“We need to become more in harmony with nature and rescue our own naturalness. At some point in time, we lost our naturalness and we became more artificial. This happened because we were contaminated by fear and lost our trust in life. Consequently, we developed masks to protect ourselves and pretended to be something that we aren’t in order to please the other and to get something in return. What we want in return is love. Our greatest fear is not to be loved.”

Via Daily Dharma / April 10, 2016: Let Go of Your Ego

Liberation does not come when you conquer your ego, silence it, or through repression and denial get it to behave “properly.” Liberation comes when we release our attachment to the habitual conditioned nature and structure of our temporary egos.

—Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi, "Liberation"
