“The fact is that many of us are attached to a number of things we think are crucial to our well-being – a job, a person, a material possession, an ambition – it could be anything. Even though we suffer a lot because of it, we don’t have the courage to let it go. But the truth may be we continue to suffer precisely because of that. Each one of us has to look deeply and see this for ourselves. It needs great insight and courage to release our ideas of happiness. But, once we can do that, freedom and happiness can come very easily.”
