We live lives of blind impulsion, perpetually driven by unfulfilled desires to meet socially inculcated needs. Even when we take notice of this and try to pluck them out, without sustained and structured spiritual practice they will return like weeds to a neglected garden. We call such a life the "human condition." We could as well call it unconsciousness. Until we finally address unconsciousness for once and all, ours will always be this restless and discontented human condition.
"Above all, we want to remain conscious. We shall bear every suffering and humiliation, but we shall rather remain conscious. Unless we revolt against this craving for experience and let go the manifested altogether, there can be no relief. We shall remain trapped." - Nisargadatta Maharaj
