Why Choose Enlightenment?

You think that you are not courageous enough or intelligent enough to spontaneously respond to every situation which comes up, so you sit, plan, prioritize, and procrastinate. Enlightenment is exactly the opposite.

Enlightenment is preparing all the tools and all the weapons for a wonderful life. Keeping these tools ready and waiting for any situation to come, and inviting more and more situations to come so that you can express your courage and face it. Having shastra shastras, knowledge weapons, ready to face life spontaneously is enlightenment. When you go the other way, dropping many situations which bring challenges to you, and try to think you are working for enlightenment, you are cheating yourself and others. Do not prioritize. Do not try to avoid situations.
