How can anyone understand the absence of the one who is trying to understand?? How can that ever be understood? How can ‘you’ understand the absence of the ‘you’ who is trying to understand? It’s just not possible. So, inevitably, what will arise is confusion. Confusion is simply an expression of the impossibility to understand.
Jeff Foster
A self actualized person is somebody who needs no approval and is free of both criticism and flattery, someone who feels neither superior nor inferior to anyone, someone who experiences what its like to act fearlessly because they are detached from the influence of situations, circumstances, events and relationships.

"A drop of water has the tastes of the water of the seven seas: there is no need to experience all the ways of worldly life. The reflections of the moon on one thousand rivers are from the same moon: the mind must be full of light."
Hung Tzu-ch’eng
"Travelers, it is late. Life’s sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings."

"Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together."

Only a sleeper considers it real.
Then death comes like dawn,
and you wake up laughing
at what you thought was your grief. "
