With the ego having been destroyed the sage does not get proud; the sage does not feel guilty; the sage does not hate or envy anybody. So the absence of guilt, pride, hate, envy makes life peaceful. And that is what the search has all been for— peace during the waking state which exists in the deep sleep state. My concept of all spiritual search is to have that peace which prevails during deep sleep even during the waking state, during your ordinary working life. And that kind of peace prevails in your daily life if this happens: there is no ego to feel guilt, pride, hate, or envy.
