Here at the most what you can become is, as your nature moulds you in the

running away from struggle. If you wish to live like a human being who is truly
alive, then you must learn to live amidst struggles.
The ''awakened person'' is the one, in whose presence not only the people
around him, but even the existence and the circumstances feel compelled to
fulfil his desires... And to be so awakened is not a difficult task.
Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
