What More Enlightenment Could One Ask For?
"Where we are like children at the beach, busy building sand castles, sublime beings are like adults watching from under an umbrella. The children are carried away with their creations, fighting over shells and shovels, terrified of the waves coming closer. They go through all kinds of emotions. But the adults lie nearby, sipping a coconut cocktail, watching, not judging, not feeling pride when a sand castle is built very nicely and not feeling anger or sadness when someone accidentally steps on the turret. They are not caught up in the drama the way the children are. What more enlightenment could one ask for?"
