" "
A bedridden patient only thinks about getting well again. He or she has no wish to remain sick forever. Likewise, a practitioner who yearns to leave the miseries of samsara behind will make use of all the ways in which that can be done, such as taking refuge, generating the mind set on attaining enlightenment for the sake of others, undertaking positive actions, and so on, with a firm determination to get out of samsara constantly in mind. It is not enough to wish from time to time that you could be free of samsara. That idea must pervade your stream of thinking day and night.

It is important to become more and more clearly convinced that the only thing worth achieving is supreme enlightenment.

Not long ago your conciousness
was wandering alone.
Swept by karma, it took its present birth.
Soon, like a hair pulled out of butter,
Leaving everything behind,
you’ll go on alone.
