Expectations of goals and rewards, such as enlightenment, are last-ditch attempts by the ghostly self to subvert the process to its own ends. The more we become conscious of the mysterious unfolding of life, the clearer it becomes that its purpose is not to fulfill the expectations of our ego.
Stephen Batchelor, from Whiskey River
