If living a life of clarity doesn't bring contentment, peace, happiness, then what's all the hullabaloo about? One of the most respected East Indian gurus of the last century was a man named Nisargadatta Maharaj, who was a very common man, living an everyday life. When he was asked what it was like to live an awakened life he said it was basically just living a "life with no problems". Doesn't sound very "spiritual" does it? And not being anything special is what makes seeing life clearly so special.

But to think the so-called spiritual life is something special keeps people in the seeking mode for years - years of frustration.
