No Escape

When we act on our self-centered desires, we end up unfulfilled and unhappy. We then try to escape our unhappiness.

However, when we run, our prison--the ego--runs with us.

In true meditation, we study how to get rid of the ego.

This is no easy task. Krishnamurti speaks of being "industrious" when observing how our minds function in our daily lives. Constant effort is required.

There is no escape.
