"When you cling, life is destroyed; when you hold on to anything, you cease to live.
It's all over the gospel pages. And one attains this by understanding. Understand. Understand another
illusion, too, that happiness is not the same as excitement, it's not the same as thrills.
That's another illusion, that a thrill comes from living a desire fulfilled. Desire breeds anxiety and sooner
or later it brings its hangover. When you've suffered sufficiently, then you are ready to see it.
You're feeding yourself with thrills. This is like feeding a racehorse with delicacies. You're giving it cakes
and wine. You don't feed a racehorse like that. It's like feeding human beings with drugs. You don't fill
your stomach with drugs. You need good, solid, nutritious food and drink.
You need to understand all this for yourself."
