Big Mind: I’m the death of the limited, constricted self. When the bubble pops, there is just me. . . . The self’s biggest fear is popping, in other words, dying. But it has nothing to fear, because when the self physically dies, or the ego dies, I am ever-present. I am unborn and undying. I am always here. Even if the whole world were to go up in an explosion. . . .
Big Heart: I am just as vast, just as infinite, just as eternal . . . as Big Mind. However, I feel. I care. I am heart. I love and I have compassion for all. . . . I am action. Big Mind is non-action. . . . I [yearn] to alleviate suffering and to bring unconditional love to all beings. ~Dennis Genpo Merzel, Big Mind – Big Heart: Finding Your Way, pp. 100-01, via Joseph Slicker
