To destroy it we have to stay out of it. If we want to cut down a tree, it is of no use to climb into its branches. The desire to keep contact with something, even to destroy it, is a subtle and insidious illusion  (Vinoba Bhave Quotes) If a man’s house is full of medicine bottles, we infer the man is an invalid.
