If you ever have a choice between a million dollars and enlightenment, take the million dollars. Because if you take the million dollars there will be someone there who will enjoy the money, unlike what will happen if you get the enlightenment.The pursuit of enlightenment is hopeless, another illusion in the mask of self-deception, because no person who has reached this state of mind calls it enlightenment. Spiritual enlightenment is a state in which the self is free from any illusion, including the illusion of the self.

The process of enlightenment itself is the killing of the false self, while the self carries out the killing. Total suicide, apart from the physical layer of course. One cannot truly want enlightenment because one then wants to be in his own pockets, and to crave it means not to understand the meaning of the matter. Ego can not crave to be egoless. A person does not arise out of love for the truth, but only out of aversion to the false.
