The nature of the mind is to acquire - JKOnline Daily Quotes |
| The nature of the mind is to acquire Posted: The nature of the mind is to acquire, to absorb, is it not? Or rather, the pattern it has created for itself is one of gathering in; and in that very activity the mind is preparing its own weariness, boredom.

So the mind goes from boredom to interest to boredom again, till it is utterly weary; and these successive waves of interest and weariness are regarded as existence. - Commentaries On Living, Series II |
