HellDo you remember what we said attachment was? It is the pure substance
of Hell itself. It is pure, unadulterated anguish. The anguish
is exactly what is produced by the movement of attachment. The
movement of attachment always occurs in one of two ways, either
a movement away from pain or a movement towards pleasure. Regardless
of how you might try to get out of this dilemma, you won’t.
If you have either of these two attitudes – which are actually
one attitude – you are in the dilemma. You can’t get
out of a sticky situation by becoming stickier. You can’t
get out of a swamp by going further into it. No matter how many
times I say this, how many times I read the stories, you will
not get it unless you make that principle of understanding your
practice every minute, as much as possible. (Diamond Heart Book
1, pg 225) |
