Enlightenment

1) Do not be in hurry - Enlightenment must come little by little, otherwise it would overwhelm (says Idries Shah)

2) Stay empty - Men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after (says Henry David Thoreau)

3) Believe! - The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness (says Nikos Kazantzakis)

4) Accept responsibility - He, knowing all, becomes the All (says Upanishad)

5) Light the fire - Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire (says William Butler Yeats)

6) Allow the universe to reflect you - One moon shows in every pool, in every pool, the one moon (says Zen saying)

7) Take the bite - By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower (says Rabindranath Tagore)
