Enlightenment is the end of the pain of conflict. While we see right and wrong, good and bad, sacred and profane in our world, our thoughts and emotions are continually programmed by these apparent values. By devotion and study, we are gradually, (sometimes immediately,) released from these conditions. We come to see all as a good and true, purposeful and unified world. The end of spiritual work is to find our true place, to be able to accept and be thankful for every event and every circumstance because it is part of this amazing gift of Life.
