    Yoga master that Osho talks about in this
    book:

    Patanjali

    Only inferior people, who have an idea of deep
    inferiority, try to prove themselves to be superior.

    Inferiority complex helps you to compete and
    prove so that you can prove you are superior.
    But, basically, you are born unique -- and there
    is no need to prove it.

    Enjoy if you enjoy creating poetry, but don't
    make it an ego trip. Enjoy if you enjoy painting,
    but don't make it an ego trip. Look at your
    painters, poets; they are so egoistic, almost
    crazy. What has happened? They are not
    enjoying their painting, their poetry. They are
    using their poetry and painting as steps to come
    to the top so that they can declare, "I am unique,
    and you are not."

    Because of these ill people.... They are
    pathological; they need psychological treatment.
    All politicians need, all power oriented, ego-trip
    people need treatment. They need to be
    hospitalized. Because of their madness, their
    feverish competition, their tremendous effort to
    prove that they are somebody, you start feeling
    that you are nobody, that you are not special,
    that you are there just to vegetate -- live an
    ignoble life and die an ignoble death.

    This is a very dangerous, poisonous idea,
    deeply planted in you. Throw it out...
