"Subtle awareness of the truth of the universe should
not be regarded as an achievement.
To think in terms of achieving it is to place it outside
your own nature.
This is erroneous and misleading.
Your nature and the integral nature of the universe are
one and the same: indescribable, but eternally
present.
Simply open yourself to this."
I spent the first half so focused on achievements. While I remain proud of what I have accomplished during, and even since, that time, it is not those measurable outcomes that have brought me the most joy.
Tonight online I read a purported Buddhist proverb that says, "'Enough' is a feast." If I have 'enough' for the rest of my life I will be happy.
