The danger is not in possessing things, but in being possessed by things. It is not that the person loses, but the fact that he is part of his own loss and in losing, loses himself. So, it is not the fact of renunciation that solves the problem. It is the ability to accept or release with equal gentleness of spirit. Very often it is easy to hold on and difficult to let go. In this case, the two must be perfectly balanced. ~Excerpted from Manly P Hall Lecture #114 - Does the Universal Plan for Living Require Personal Suffering? Is Growth Possible Without Pain?
