"The ego is not going to be ready for any of the
experiences it will have in spiritual practice. Waiting for it to get ready is
a colossal waste of time."
I often find these profound quotes (I call them smarty-pants quotes) to be frustrating because they make statements without offering a path toward the world they imply.
I think maybe it matters "how" one waits... with surrender? With love? With angst? With trying to control? Hmmmm? Waiting, in general, is something the ego loves... then it gets to postpone it's own annihilation.
