Giving In
Getting on the spiritual path is like getting into a vehicle without brakes. It involves giving up, giving away, unmasking layer after layer of ego's sheath. It would be better not to begin such a trip, but if we must begin such a journey, we should prepare for it and we should not expect bliss as soon as we start out. Bliss, pleasure, and joy should emanate from some kind of work, some kind of sacrifice, of giving in.
