Spiritual truth is not something elaborate and esoteric,
it is in fact profound common sense.
When you realize the nature of mind, layers of confusion peel away.
You don’t actually “become” a buddha, you simply cease, slowly, to be deluded.
And being a buddha is not being some omnipotent spiritual superman,
but becoming at last a true human being.
