This is hard core. Deep stony truth. I never dreamt that pleasure 
could be the source of my pain. More and more I am seeing this as 
true. What, no pleasure? Surely that would be a pointless and  
painful existence. But miracle of miracles, no pleasure...no pain. 
No seeking and obstacles disappear. 

"...but this thirstful atmosphere of attachment is antagonistic to 
that light."

How long will it take to never forget this?
