Before
enlightenment we are too busy, too muddle-headed. We think of this and
that, and we try to do things the wrong way. We don't focus our awareness.
That's why we don't know many things. We cannot harness our energy.
Yeah, too fast. Then we just discharge our energy, and we're tired at
the end of the day. We've achieved nothing. The more you nervously do
things, the less you achieve. So you think you haven't done anything.
After a while, the
master tells you how to harness your energy, how to concentrate your
awareness. Then that power helps you to be sharper in everything, to
be more alert. You can accomplish more in a shorter time. Then you think
after enlightenment, maybe you have more talent. It's not true; you
always had it. You just have more attention now to use it, more awareness
to bring it into realization.
