Our True Nature

We are engrossed in pampering the body and ignore the soul because there is a lot of muck accumulated around it, in the mistaken belief that it is of great value.
It becomes very difficult to get rid of it for the same reason. It appears to be a great sacrifice to give it all away. It appears to be very painful. This is all avidya.
That is why initially we need the guidance of a compassionate guide. Once the darkness of avidya is dispersed then all actions become easy and enjoyable.
Finally, it happens by itself. Our true nature comes forth.
