Mike,
We don't go in with any such idea. We vow to save them all, come hell or high
water.
If we don't yet own a realization, we'd better not pretend to! It will
entirely disable our practice, and turn it into an indulgence, if we do.
Better, much better, not ever to hear of such "leakages" from awakened
practitioners' lips. An intellectual appreciation of someone else's wisdom
will not help our physiology to mature, and CAN DELAY it, by cutting the
intensity of our practice. There's nowhere to relax! We are hanging from a
cliff! The tasty berry is our practice. Don't water it down.
