the sky, suddenly the ego disappears. It was a creation of the keyhole, because the keyhole was so small, and through the keyhole the whole world was so small, you are so big behind it. Under the sky it simply disappears.
Socrates said, "Where is your palace on this map? Where are you?" The man could understand the point, but he asked, "What was the urgency in it?" Socrates says, "Urgency was there, because without understanding this there is no possibility of any dialogue; you waste my time and your time. Now if you have understood the point, then there is a possibility of dialogue. You can put aside this ego; it doesn't matter.
Under the vast sky your ego becomes simply irrelevant. It drops on its own accord. Even to drop it looks foolish; it is not even worth that. When the perspective is full, you disappear: this is the point to be understood. You are because the perspective is narrow. Narrower the perspective, the bigger the ego; blinder the person, the bigger the ego... No perspective, there exists perfect ego. When the perspective grows, ego gets smaller and smaller. When the perspective is perfect, ego simply is not found.
This is my whole effort here -- to make the perspective so full that the ego disappears. That's why from many directions I go on hitting the wall of your mind, so at least few more keyholes in the beginning can be made. Through Buddha a new keyhole opens, through Patanjali another, through Tilopa still another. That is what I am doing. I don't want you to become a follower of Buddha, Tilopa or Patanjali, no, because a follower can never have a bigger perspective -- his doctrine is his keyhole.
Talking about so many standpoints, what I am trying to do? -- I am trying to do only this: to give you a bigger perspective. Many keyholes in the walls and you can look at the east and you can look at the west, you can look at the south and you can look at the north; and looking at the east you don't say, "This is the only direction," you know other directions are there. Looking at the east, you don't say that "This is the only true doctrine," because then the perspective becomes narrow. I am talking about so many doctrines
