In advanced practice there is a sense of commitment to the study. It is happy it's never forced. It is a natural evolutionary process of an evolved being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened being comes into the world because they can help. They are off the wheel. They will experience different states of mind. They will suffer. They will know joy. But ultimately, they are free of all that.
