What does 'attain to sth' mean?
We are bound to a wheel which turns through endless cycles of birth and death; out true life is of the stars, but we are tied to earth. Only by purification and renunciation and an ascetic life can we escape from the wheel and attain at last to the actasy of union with God.
B. Russell, 'The History of Western Philosophy'
