The Same for One and All

Enlightenment is the same for one and all. Is the sun in Australia different from the sun in America? There is the same sun, the same light, the same rain, the same air. Is there a man’s sleep and a woman’s sleep, a dog’s sleep and a cat’s sleep? No. Sleep is the same. Death is the same. Enlightenment also is the same. It doesn’t differ at all from one person to the next. The only difference would be in how long it takes to come to that experience. But the experience is the same. At least we are all united in that.
