"Strive diligently for your own enlightenment"
There are lotsa ways of depicting that ... "Train as though your hair is on fire", for example. Or "like a hot elephant towards a mud wallow".
Listening to Tom Harper on radio, talking about his "Seven Principles of Cosmic Spirituality" ... he just related this tale:A student approaches his Guru saying that he needs advice on how to find god. The guru takes him down to the river, where he holds the student's under the water for a long, long, long time. Bursting back up through the surface, the student demanded to know WTF that was all about.
"When you want to find god as deeply as you wanted to find air just now, you will find god."
heh ... yaa, like that.
*beam*
