(…) as we sit at the wall of the ego, and say the mantra, listen to the mantra, hearing the word to the best of our ability, and returning to the word faithfully day by day, this very simple, childlike work, inner work that we come to love, this very simple, childlike work has a transformative effect. It is changing the way the wall is. It changes our ego doesn’t destroy the ego, because we need an ego. But it transforms the way this part of our psyche, the ego, operates.
