"Enlightenment is like the person that is fighting a forest fire single-handed. They keep putting out the fire only to return the next day to see that it has started up again. Finally, they realise that the only way to extinguish the fire completely is to let the fire rage until it eventually burns itself out.

Enlightenment is thus starving your body of redemption, from all of its emotional (chemical) addictions until your mind and body become clear and calm. To stop the chemical voices from your body occupying your mind you have to deny them their fix, and the only way to do that, is to stand in the fire and watch whilst it burns away your past and purifies you."
