If you chase after fleeting pleasures you suffer. This is the nature of samsara. This is being 'caught in the mind'.
If you bring the light of awareness to the mental imaginings and desires as they arise and remain dispassionate you cut suffering at it's root. By instead remaining devoted to one's sadhana, and the Light within, as difficult as it may be at times, one builds up the spiritual power and comes one step closer to complete liberation from bondage to mind and senses.
This is the essential choice that we are always faced with.
Grace of God / Guru / Self is always Here. It is just a matter of tuning in. For this we must do the necessary day to day work and sadhana so that we can overcome the lazy and fickle nature of the mind, and in turn reveal Our True Power and Grace.
