Chapter 19. We Need Not Be Surprised

Awakening is not a thing, it is not a goal, not a concept, it is not something to be attained, it is a metamorphosis.

If the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying “And then I shall have wings &amp; antennae,” there never will be a butterfly. 

The caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation.

When the marvellous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains. 
-
And always remember: There are only two mistakes along the way to mastery. Not starting it and not going all the way.

Just start walking and don’t stop.
