Any aspirant who looks to a personal attachment or earthly love for a durable and ultimate happiness will find that sooner or later his illusion will be removed and his mistake corrected by the painful tutorship of experience. If good fortune brings it to him he may enjoy it, but only if he can enjoy it inside his Quest and not outside it. If it separates him from his ideals and lowers his values, then he cannot keep to it and to the Quest too--then in his hour of need it will be lost by him or it will turn from him.
