If you are expecting the answers to come from thought, it will only ever be a frustrating roller-coaster of highs and lows. Any answer or solution to suffering, will only ever be temporary – a temporary experience of relief that thought will jump onto saying: ‘This is it! This must be what I have been looking for.’ But of course the experience, like every experience, is bound to change. And when it does, thought will say: ‘I’ve lost it! I need to get it again.’ And the search goes on, very painfully and dramatically. Lots of highs and lows, going nowhere actually. At some point, perhaps you get so exhausted, and see that it is all out of your control anyway.
