Being in but not of...

"The generally accepted idea of renunciation or detachment is an illusory way of getting away from Maya, because you miss the main point by running away.

The inner reaction to such renunciation is that the mind soon goes out of control, leaving the person concerned in a morass, which only creates more complications.

To overcome these new complications is still more difficult.

The real remedy lies in remaining in Maya, but not being of it."
