With the caveat that seekers sometimes develop a faux equinimity about gaining enlightenment, the flip side is, Yes, we should continue to live our lives fully while striving for our enlightenment. The trap I see some fall into, and some in the TMO especially is this misintepretation, that, if I only do this one- more-thing, Ah, THEN I will reach enlightenment! Putting life on hold doesn't do the seeker any good, except teach them that it doesn't do them any good. ------------------------ Yahoo!
