As a person, having a bag of cement bond on each leg, holding a bag in each hand, bond one on his back, and while balancing a six bag on head, realizing, 'what ever I try, I am not able to move', may possible abandon the bags in the hand, the bags on the feet, the bag on the back, when skilled in balancing the bag on the head, but because of his skill in balancing a bag on the head, still wouldn't be able to move other then the eighth directions, incapable to come above the earth.
In the same way may one be able to abandon the strings of sensuality by means of the intellect for temporary times, but exactly because of his skills by intellect, he wouldn't be able to leave touch, the bound in the world.
