More important than attaining enlightenment is the strong conviction that whatever experience we are having in the present moment has an ultimate meaning.
Without such a conviction, it is impossible to attain enlightenment.
But if we attain enlightenment before we attain enlightenment, if we are aware that our existence is inherently meaningful, then we will not be tempted to sacrifice our true self now for an imaginary self in the future.
We will seek for truth in the ordinary everyday circumstances of our lives and we will learn to express that truth through our daily activity.
