“The Philosopher is not afraid of any facet of life. He makes the contradictory the complementary! That is why he does not need to run away from the world like the ascetic. Whatever running away he deems necessary is done secretly inside his heart and is not publicly advertised by donning the coloured robe of the monk. No amount of world-desertion will lead to wisdom in his view because he knows that he was put into the world to learn its lessons…………Nevertheless he is at one with the monk in wishing to be free from enslavement to desires and in seeking dominion over his own emotions.” (Dr Paul Brunton, “The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga”)
