The notion of
enlightenment means, “not bound”.
Not bound to what? Not bound to one’s own
mind in ordinary ways; not bound in confusion
to all the suffering that one’s mind
has produced and is
experiencing.

As
my sufferings
mounted I soon realized that
there were two ways in which I could respond
to my situation—either to react with bitterness or seek
to transform the suffering into a creative force.
I decided to follow the latter course…
Human salvation lies in the
hands of the creatively
maladjusted.
