For many years I thought, “since I haven’t reached it by this age…,” my personal enlightenment must be unattainable. I would never reach the full extent of my potential. Now I see that this was just another excuse, a rationalization, a temptation from the darkness. Now, although my spiritual destination is still far off, I can at least glimpse it in the distance, and I realize that my age is irrelevant. The search, the journey is for life. Having lived nearly seven decades on this earth I can still fix my attention on the goal of peaceful harmony and productive existence, because that is the sole true purpose of life. There is no time limit; only death.
