"It's funny how sometimes how the public some people think I was born like this. That I maybe I sleep and I do big muscle, but it’s a lot of work to look like this and to be in this kind of condition."

The goal lies away from the sensual world. It is not a rejection of the sensual world, but understanding it so well that we no longer seek it as an end in itself. We no longer expect the sensory world to satisfy us. We no longer demand that sensory consciousness be anything other than an existing condition that we can use skillfully according to time and place.
