Quote

Pain is physical suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.

There are no steps to self-realization. There is nothing gradual about it. It happens suddenly and is irreversible.

The world of illusions is left behind.
