I must be aware I am suffering, I am in anxiety, in a state of confusion and of fear. To recognise that, transformation is essential; I must not be self-contented. There must be real discontent. It must have a quality which is not mere change. If you see a cobra and know it to be a cobra, you have an instantaneous response. There is a bodily response to the poisonous snake, and you jump. It is not out of fear that you avoid it, but the understanding of the nature of the poison keeps you away.
