" Separation, intense loneliness, causes enormous anger. Because of the self clinging of this being when it grows, anger grows. This occurs when people are being concerned about themselves, as themselves. When you raise illusory self and attach to it moment after moment, you become alone, of course. Separation is like that. The departure of yourself from others is like that. Where is the division of you and other things? Is skin the division of you and others? I don’t think so. Air, big air and little air in you, is a good example. As you breathe in, where is the limitation? "
