How Enlightened Are You? A Test:
Well. . .
If you can live without caffeine or
nicotine;
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and
pains;
If you can resist complaining;
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to
give you any time;
If you can take criticism and blame without
resentment;
If you can ignore friends' limited educations and never
correct them;
If you can treat the rich and poor alike;
If you can face the world without lies or
deceit;
If you can conquer tension without medical
help;
If you can relax without liquor;
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
If you can have no prejudice against creed, color,
religion, gender, sexual preference, or politics —
— then you have almost reached the same level of
spiritual development as your dog.
