There are many paths that lead to enlightenment. There are lesser enlightenments along the way to a larger enlightenment, referred to sometimes as liberation.

Never get so stuck in being responsible and mindful that you can't let it all go and run off chasing your private dream, if it leads to the shiny worlds, the worlds of beauty.

What you focus on you become. So always focus on that which is highest, brightest, happiest and most noble of all things, enlightenment.

Nirvikalpa samadhi is another matter. In order to enter into nirvikalpa samadhi, you must have a great deal of humility.

I was sitting outside in our backyard on a summer day, I was around six, and suddenly the whole world dissolved before my eyes and I found myself in a timeless world of light.

As you go into the light, you will gain a more profound happiness. That happiness will free you from the desire-aversion cycle.

Free yourself from happiness and unhappiness. Realize there is something beyond both and yet, revel in your time, revel in this world.
