Awakening is not far away
If you’re married,
if you have a child,
if you go bankrupt,
if you have cancer,
or if you are old,
instead of suffering,
look for opportunities to be awakened.
 
There are things you can realize
only when you are old,
only when you are sick,
only when you are divorced,
only when you are betrayed.

Awakening is not far away.
Awakening is wherever your mind arises.
