A man recently asked me what the catalyst was for my change. I replied that somehow I had had enough sense to know that acquiring material shit wasn’t going to make me happy, but I was frustrated and suffering like hell, mentally. I knew I had to change or die (or be in prison for the rest of my life), because my anger and drug use was way out of control. I remember not even knowing how to pray or who to pray to, but I prayed anyway. I asked for a roadmap out of my suffering and it came in the form of jnana, knowledge, which I then applied. Guess what happened? Change.
