Nirvana and Enlightenment #35

A spiritual seeker looks into the mirror and says, "No, I am unworthy."
A monk looks into the mirror and says, "No, I am unworthy."
An ego-filled, young, attractive, successful, business person looks into the mirror and says, "I am very worthy."

What is the difference?

From a worldly perspective, people believe they can have it all.

From a spiritual perspective, people are indoctrinated into believing that spiritual experience is such a far off plateau that there is always more to know, more to learn, more good deeds to perform before they can even hope to have a glimpse of the absolute.

NIRVANA is. Right now, where are you?
Thinking about how unworthy you are?
