Patanjali Yoga sutras

Yoga chitta vritti nirodah
-patanjali

This is a Sanskrit text by an enlightened being many many 1000 years back. It means "yoga means to control the mental patterns " and its relevant even today. I love patanjali sutras which were small short sentences but having deep meaning.

Some more of his :

2. Ego is when the observer identifies with the instruments of observing.

3. The only possible ways the ego functions is by attachment to pleasure or aversion from pain.
