success to spirituality

Success, accomplishments, triumphs, victories, feats.

The extent to which one quantifies/qualifies success depends to a large degree on the size of ones own ego. At what level will you feel satisfied with what you have?

So much about life is a puzzle. There are people who want to be enlightened but at the same time they do not realise that what they are setting out to accomplish won't even start them on that path. They are too self-absorbed to realise that it is not within one's own success that one finds answers.

Then they might think that to begin on the path, you must have a certain amount of financial success, then only are you able to seek, given less monetary woes, the means to reach the pinacle of spirituality.

Phhoooeeeyyy!

I think humanity has started off on the wrong foot no thanks to social culture. The over-exposure to "neccesities" are what hinders us from being truly 'detached'.

When you set out to seek things, you tend to lose more than you will find. We tend to take for granted a lot of things in pursuit of success. And you won't realise how much you're losing til it's gone. The signs will be there, but you're just too busy to notice.

It's a lonely path to success, it's an even lonelier path to enlightenment.
