Gourasana states, “The first thing to realize if you are to leave this place of suffering is to not only understand that this is a place of suffering, extensive suffering, but the magnitude of what is going on here. It is no small force that binds you to this place of darkness.” He adds that if you do not understand the treacherous nature of the place that you exist in, then how will you have the care and focus to make certain that you do not stay in the grasp of the illusion? Terrible suffering can take anyone in the world over at any time. That is the nature of this place. For one that wants to break free from this place there is one constant enemy that never sleeps and that is all powerful, and that is the illusion.
