In nature nothing is at standstill, everything pulsates, appears and disappears. Heart, breath, digestion, sleep and waking - birth and death - everything comes and goes in waves. Rhythm, periodicity, harmonious alternation of extremes is the rule. No use rebelling against the very pattern of life.
Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.
Find what is it that never sleeps and never wakes, and whose pale reflection is our sense of 'I'
