Yes I wholeheartedly agree. But insanity in this quest comes only due to being ungrounded from reality wanting to escape from it, and ascend. But one who endures, stays in this world to help, and sees the heavenly wonder that is already inherent everywhere you go. And by illusion it is said to mean the world to be dream like, spontaneously happening like magic. And so one laughs joyously at the interconnected concatenation of it all. Illusion does not mean false or nothing at all, that is the doctine of the nihilists. But instead magic like, and dream like appearing, moving and dissapearing like clouds and all other phenomena. But what witnesses the clouds is a mind, a spirit that can not dissapear, appear, die, or be created. And so in truth awaken your not susceptible to the comings and goings of this dream.
Alchemy is the redemption of the spirit from matter. So one can discard all suffering in this very life. One can go to the movies, have a nice wife hopefully a not bickering one, and have a good night sleep. One is completely ordinary, the only thing is Whatever you say, whatever you do, all is the truth. You again find yourself in dusty world and cross rivers and lakes as you will and please. You are not a Great Holy Sage, but an ordinary common folk. There are tears of wonder even if you are looking as average tramp and nobody recognizes or respects you. Anyway such a respect and recognition are a laughing stock for your free mind of true master. You welcome all events with an open heart and peaceful mind. Before you knew nothing and nothing you know now. Only difference is you are an original man who accomplished his task and has nothing else to seek, With nothing to do, you pass over worlds of universe with a smile and satisfaction. Being ordinary you pass water and move your bowels without any hindrance.
Whatever you do, you don't lose a bit of happiness and your luck grows endlessly. Now you are a Man who has 10 000 pieces of gold to spend each and every day without ever emptying your treasure house. It is completely up to you where you want to go or where you want to stay. You are no more a subject for others to direct you and all dangers of the world cannot imprison you through fear or starvation. Your plate overflows with food and your eyes meet only friends everywhere they turn.
Although it is only you who is free, there are multitudes of those undergoing great suffering. Once you realize you are the truth and you are One universe and the universe is already the truth. Everything in the universe is the truth then as it is. Then you too can help those around you.
