- It is strange how intelligent humans get attracted to and addicted to inanimate objects. The objects of the world are not attracted to us nor do they wish to own us.
- When we become fascinated by any object of the senses, we tend to overlook their imperfections and impermanence. However, once we turn away from them, they no longer affect or attract us.
- Temporary abstinence from these objects does not mean that we have achieved true dispassion. It can be caused by a bitter experience, unavailability of the objects, or sickness.
- Only when we experience the true freedom and bliss of the Self and eliminate our vasana-s, can we achieve permanent dispassion.
- If an immature spiritual seeker suppresses their senses, it can lead to violent behavior and a withdrawal from the path to freedom.
