"...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions."

Previous Quote

There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil. There is no sin and no redemption. None of these things matter to the real you. But they all matter hugely to the false you, the one who believes in the separate self. You have tried to take your separate self, with all its loneliness and anxiety and pride, to the door of enlightenment. But it will never go through, because it is a ghost.

— Deepak Chopra
