"We should understand that although delusions are deeply ingrained, they are not an intrinsic part of our mind and so they can definitely be removed. Delusions are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken. With no delusions remaining in our mind, there is nothing that can disturb our inner peace and joy."
