Know what you do not know.

Neither my life of luxury in the palace -nor- my life as ascetic in the forest were ways to enlightenment.

He who slings mud loses ground.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed. - Buddha No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
