There's no telling what ego wants because our desire doesn't have any limit; therefore, its demands continually increase. — Gelek Rimpoche

The husband has to help his wife, the wife has to help the husband, the mother has to help her children, and the children are supposed to help the parents too, whether they want to or not. — Gelek Rimpoche
