Is there a G-d spot in the brain ?

[Thomas]

Trouble is, everybody's looking for a short cut, a magic pill to enlightenment, the G-d spot ... and as you and I know Andrew, all the esoterica in all the world, and all the worlds beyond, is just a bunch of stuff that don't count for zilch, without a little bit of effort in the right direction.

There's only one way to go, and it's like the lady who asked the taxi driver the way to the Carnegie Hall, "Practice, lady, you godda practice!"

"Before enlightenment, chop wood ... " etc.

One of my personal favorites (since it hits home so well!) is a story told by Krishnamurti:

You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?" "He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil. "That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."
