[Chandran, Nanda (NBC)]

All escapism is an exercise in futility. For the aspirant who seeks to
contain the triple evils of greed, lust and anger, a spiritually non
congenial environment is but a constant and ideal training ground to steady
the mind and to practice detachment.

He also quotes Nishkulanand who sings, "Renunciation without aversion is not
lasting".
