"The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided."

"It is the body-complex that eats and one just does the egoism of 'I ate.' He is not aware that there is another entity. One simply takes on the suffering of another."
