You must be disappointed

Chow: Even after so much talk, I am still attached to the ego... You must be very disappointed with me...

Old man: How can I be proud or disappointed if I don't have any expectations?

Chow: What is an expectation?

Old man: An expectation arises from the ego. The only thing that can be expected out of any expectation is to feed the ego whatever it may desire, let it be a desire for pleasure or pain.

Chow: But if you don't have any expectation, then what drives you to help me?

Old man: First of all, do you feel that I've helped you in any way? As far as I know, the realizations you made are yours. I have absolutely no hand in it. At most I can tell you about the lies so you could be aware of it, but the truth, I can never tell... it is up to you to discover. I have no drive whatsoever to help you, and even if I did, it wouldn't matter because a drive doesn't help at all.

Chow: I understand now.

Old man: Don't be worried about the ego... being worried comes out of an expectation to be enlightened. And like I said, any expectation is to feed the ego. Drop your expectations, drop it utterly, and your enlightenment awaits.
