Our worldly desires keep us weak and unfocused. But if we give them up, although we would be supremely happy, it would seem as though we (us wretched creatures) we would have to give up our own lives in order for a better version of us to live. Thus the sacrifice of one's own life for the life of a better self is the thing that allows us to transcend.
