"Enlightenment" and "Nirvana"?
They are dead trees to fasten a donkey to.
The scriptures?
They are bits of paper to wipe mud from your face.
What can these things have to do with you becoming free?

Te-Shan

The reality of truth is not to be bought, to be sold, to be repeated; it cannot be caught in books. It has to be found from moment to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under the dead leaf, in the vagrant thought, in the fullness of love.

J. (Jiddu) Krishnamurti : Indian religious figure, spiritual teacher, educated in England
J. Krishnamurti (1895 - 1986)

Quote

Life as such has to be taken as a cosmic joke - and then suddenly you
relax because there is nothing to be tense about.
And in that very relaxation something starts changing in you
- a radical change, a transformation - and the small things of life
starts having new meaning, new significance.
One learns only one thing, how to rejoice in life.
