Every shortcut, while it might seem it’s getting you in the right direction, is a dead end, ultimately. One has to transform one’s self through personal effort. And yet, the irony is that our efforts can only go so far. We can only cup our hands, we can’t make it rain. Luckily, it’s raining all the time. So all we have to do is cup our hands and they will fill with water.” – Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
