When we look closely at the defilements ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro
When we look closely at the defilements that we are still unable to abandon, we find that there is always something about them that we enjoy and don't want to let go of. It is only when we recognise the pleasurable sensations and sense of self that defilements give us, and are willing to renounce them, that inner freedom can be experienced.
