But, the second part of this teaching -- equal in every way to the first, and why the vast majority of aspirants reject true interior teachings -- is as follows: we must also agree to see where some fo...

Achievements in and of themselves change little in us; they are little more than a merit badge that tarnishes in time.

It is not so much what we acquire, as it is our willingness to pay the "cost" of it that actually enriches us.
