Why is enlightenment worth striving for?

The advantages you have with this standard of living are enormous. You appreciate the uniqueness of life in the here and now. You have arrived at yourself, you rest within yourself, and thereby have a high quality of life.

Moreover, you live without expectations and demands. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, you don't need success and you don't judge yourself or others. Everything is fine the way it is, it is allowed to be that way and has its meaning. 

Through your knowledge of the interrelations in life, you have become a peaceful and wise human being who has healed their inner injuries, who is a balanced person and can cope with any situation in life. You feel free, you are no longer attached to anything, you are no longer open to attacks, you act selflessly, and don't want to harm anyone.

You are content and appreciate life, no matter what it has to offer. You exchange ideas with others and inspire each other, creating a balance of give and take. You have learned to satisfy your basic needs on your own, without relying on others. This keeps you balanced, you take good care of yourself, and remain healthy.
