Came across this wonderful saying by Shantideva today in the spiritual classic 'Tibetan book of living and dying'* by Sogyal Rinpoche.
If all the harms throughout the world,
And all its fears and sufferings,
All spring from clinging to a self,
What need have I for such a demon?
* Reading this book slowly. Its wonderful but is quite a heavy read. Will post about it separately on another day.

Another case of "holy men" saying things they dont really mean, understand or live perhaps??
I dont know what to get from that link with respect to your comment. In any case the quote was not by Sogyal Rinpoche but was by Shantideva.
