Q: Why is it that you strive for the perfection of Ultimate Truth, when most people are content with the ups and downs of normal life?
A: The reason I strive for the perfection beyond happiness and suffering is because I see that such a thing is possible. I suspected its possibility from an early age. The fact that I always had perfection dangling in front of my eyes as a lure made it impossible for me to be content with anything less. For me to settle for less would be to feel less. To make myself the slave of my desires would mean being a slave.
Most people do not suspect the existence of Truth. They are content with their pitiful games, their loves and their fears, because there is nothing to show them up. Only light can reveal them grovelling in the dirt: but they live in darkness.
