"We expect enlightenment to be everything's going to be fine, no pain in the body, no pain in the mind, no, there's still gonna be pain, we just have a very different relationship with it. We have to let go of the notion that we're going to fix everything. It's not about becoming happy, it's about becoming real, it's about becoming intimate with all of our experience."– RamDev
