Egolessness does not mean to annihilate or to give up our own individual practice. True egolessness should forget egolessness too [laughs]. As long as you understand your practice is egolessness, then you stick to ego too. When you practice with others, true egolessness happens. That egolessness is not just egolessness, it is also maybe ego practice. And at the same time it is a practice of egolessness. This egolessness is beyond ego or egolessness [laughs].
