“Anxiety,
unrest and the compulsion to do are symptoms of ambition and desire.
Since one searches for success in the paradigm of the material world,
one wants to accumulate wealth because one believes that success means
having a lot of money. But when the paradigm shifts and one begins to
move towards a spiritual life, success becomes being considered
charitable and making people happy. But how can you make others happy if
you yourself are not happy? One continues to seek out success through a
spiritual life with the same ambition as one sought success in the
material life. Compulsive action is a way of running away from oneself.
We need to understand the root cause of desire, and self-awareness is
what allows for this understanding to occur.”
Sri Prem Baba
