Let go of ego and desire

People say “I want peace.” If you remove I(ego), and your want(desire), you are left with peace.

Your “I” is a kind of queen bee.
The queen is the center of her hive, and your ego makes you feel that you’re the center of your universe.
That continual self-focus/self-absorption not only gets you into trouble by creating negative emotions like hatred and jealousy, but keeps you from developing spiritually.
Desire-the continual “I want” –fuels your queen-bee mind.

Try to lessen your focus on yourself and on your restless, insatiable desires.
Do this by thinking of others more than yourself, and by being satisfied with what you have in the moment.
