Don’t be anything or anybody; just be

The silliest thing about enlightenment is the amount of hard work it requires to be enlightened. People practice for several years and yet get only a glimpse of it.

No matter how much status or wealth or power one holds in the materialistic world, one cannot demand or deserve or buy enlightenment. You have to actually put in effort yourself, you cannot outsource it. So, how much effort you should put into it?
