"There is no enlightenment outside of daily life."
Simplified meaning
True understanding and personal growth come from everyday experiences. It's not about seeking wisdom in far-off places or extraordinary events. Imagine learning to be patient; it's something you practice in daily situations like waiting in line or dealing with a stubborn co-worker, rather than during a special retreat or class. Each moment, even the mundane ones, offers a chance to learn something valuable. By paying attention to these small details in our usual routine, we become more aware and wise. So, to improve yourself and your life, focus on what you do every day and find meaning in the little things.
