I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. That’s the mark of a true professional.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
