“A certain degree of physical harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes a hindrance instead of a help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and a snare.” WantHelpingSeemsCertainLevelsNumbersComfortDegreesCreatingIdealsHarmonyDelusionSatisfyingUnlimitedHindranceSnares Book:All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections Source: All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections
