As you start out on the way,
the way appears.
As you cease to be,
true life begins.
As you grow smaller,
the world cannot contain you.
You will be shown a being
that has no you inside it.
~ Rumi

i do wonder on this, struggle with it actually, the central power of the ego. is it possible to ever be beyond it? can one ever get small enough? once i had hoped so and now i don't believe it. and so i don a horsehair shirt time to time.
