“ There are two basic reasons we follow a spiritual path and look for liberation. One reason is that we want to be free. Let’s take the traditional example of a burning house: your whole house is on fire, and you run out from it. But all your family—your partner, your children, your parents, even your pet dog—are all still inside. What are you going to do? You don’t just say, “Well, I’m out. So too bad. Do your best to get out, too.” Naturally this leads to the second basic reason for following a spiritual path: we will try to pull them out as well. (p.71)
