If you wish to attain lasting happiness you must be ready to leave father, mother, even your own life and take leave of all your possessions. How?
Not by renouncing them or giving them up because what you give up violently you are forever bound to. But rather by seeing them for the nightmare that they are; and then, whether you keep them or not, they will have lost their grip over you, their power to hurt you, and you will be out of your nightmare at last, out of your darkness, your fear, your unhappiness.
