"We think that if we just meditated enough or jogged enough or ate
perfect food, everything would be perfect. But from the point of view of someone
who is awake, that's death. Seeking security or perfection, rejoicing in feeling
confirmed and whole, self contained and comfortable, is some kind of death. It
doesn't have any fresh air. There's no room for something to come in and
interrupt all that. We are killing the moment by controlling our
experience."
