Many people seek after some exalted condition as a “state” and think that this will solve all life’s problems, or that somehow this will transfer over into all living processes. The rude awakening will show otherwise. Some people believe that a state confers upon this person some sort of religious or spiritual “status”, and they are treated in traditional gestures and respect.When these illusions are seen through, it will be discovered that it is not one particular state or condition that brings absolution, but the on-going manner in which life is lived. It is better to live with intelligence than to get one extraordinary experience once a month and be confused the rest of the time. True understanding occurs when one learns how to observe one’s self and find an appropriate training (and not some obsessive hunger for a grand technique and a proposed higher experience).
