Life itself is a series of choices. Enlightenment is not a guarantee for making a better choice. Your character determines your choice. The root of your character consists of your habits. The occasional isolated choice that you make, without knowing why, does not say much about your character. However, the innumerably repeated choices create habits, and habits grow into one’s character. Good character is the flower and fruit of good habits. Enlightenment is not your responsibility. It is not what you were created to be striving for.
Enlightenment is already a given whether you are aware of it or not. You are already in God’s garden. Your responsibility is to grow a good character, to bloom a beautiful flower in God’s garden. This all starts from the soul. Your soul is the seed of the flower. It is what is called divinity. It is a perfect seed. It is simply a matter of where to plant the seed and how to take care of it, which creates all the difference in colors, shapes, and sizes. The whole process of taking care of the flower, from the planting of the seed, is a sequence of choices. The sum of all the choices forms the root of habit and character stems from the root. Grow your own character. Bloom yourself beautifully. Of course, each flower is unique. Some may not be as beautiful, but they, in their contrast, may serve the whole garden by making the beauty of the other flowers more impressive. Grow lovely flowers if you can. It is always your choice.
