“Suffering
catches hold of us through comparison and desire, which drag down our
consciousness. With the slightest lack of care, we begin to compare and
desire things, which places us in the labyrinth of psychological time.
We go from the past to the future, and from the future to the past, but
we are never in the present. When we compare ourselves to others, we
start wanting to be what they are or to have what they have. This is one
of the roots of human misery. When we can observe all that is
transitory without getting identified with it through desire or
comparison, we will have discovered the way out of the labyrinth.”
Sri Prem Baba
