Please read quotes 1385-1388 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. Here is the last quote:
The mind is not subdued without persistent practice. Hence, take up this practice of renunciation. Until one turns away from sense-pleasure here, one will continue to roam in this world of sorrow. Even a strong man will not reach his destination if he does not move towards it: no one can reach the state of total dispassion without persistent practice.
