Addicted to Hell

If this were a circle of hell, would you leave? Think of anything you value in this world and that is what binds you.

There are many temptations.  They take the various forms of Pride, Ego, Lust, Greed, and Pleasure. 

Hell is a state of mind, as is Heaven.  You attract what you think about.  You are what you think about.

As evolved as you may wish to be, something here binds you.  That is behind the ascetic's desire to renounce the world.  This too is a form of pride.  Renouncing the world acknowledges it's reality.

Love the world.  Accept it.  Do not become addicted to it.  Let it come and go, like the waves of the ocean, the tide.  It will ebb and flow, and when you can accept it's transience, you will be free.
