Discrimination and dispassion are the two master weapons to kill this dire enemy of peace. Cravings take to their heels whenever they hear of dispassion and discrimination, lust as darkness cannot exist in the presence of light, so also desires cannot exist in the presence of discrimination and dispassion. With¬out these two qualities one cannot make substantial spiritual progress.
