Lust is like a dark and dead tree. There is no point in fighting with the dead branches. Dig and see if there is any life left in the roots. Attend to the deep-rooted desires that might still be innocent.

Your deepest craving is to find the Supreme Power. Nothing the world has to offer can satisfy it. This unsatisfaction can either lead you to Him or to some addiction.

Nothing is worth losing your freedom. Nothing can catch hold of you if you value your freedom above everything else.

Anything that can kill you can liberate you. An ant can either fall into honey and die, or she can awaken the inner power to walk away from it and become free forever.

Whenever a temptation arises in your mind, resistance to it also arises. If you accept both temptation and resistance, you will become free from both. If you go with resistance alone, temptation will become stronger.

Lustful people are often very generous. Addicts often have a tender heart. Bad things about you often surround the best thing about you just as thorns surround a rose.

If you are addicted to sweets, eat them slowly, very slowly. Slow pace unhooks you from addictive things.

Movies, travel, restaurant etc are pleasure for you because they help you escape your routine life. Imagine the pain of people who have so much money that all this has become routine and unexciting for them. Addiction is the only thing left for them to escape the routine... addiction to money, sex, political power and substances .
