Yes, it is right here and right now. It's in your warm kitchen, in your favourite armchair, on your way to work, in the subway, in your morning cup of coffee... It's in your bed and in your evening walk, it's in your phone-call and in your date with an old friend. It's under the blinking streetlights and in gusts of the northern wind, in rustling of the leaves, on an empty twilight street, in the crowd of people who are always rushing.
You don't have to look for it in the mountains of Tibet or in the sand dunes of ancient African deserts. You don't have to move to the countryside, or go to war, or visit Aztec pyramids. You don't need dark alleys of New York or snowy plateaus of Yukon. You don't have to run anywhere! And you certainly don't have to WAIT for it to come to you because it has already started. When? On the day you were born. Yes, it's going on already, it's already here, right now... and every moment of it - of this BATTLE - matters.
You don't have to spend years waiting for the "right teacher" because the best teacher you have is life itself. You don't have to wait for the right moment to become a "true warrior" - that moment is already happening. There is no "right" place to grow, develop, practice, and learn - because that "right" place is everywhere where you happen to be.
And if you still don't get it or don't do it because your life conditions are "uncomfortable", your friends aren't supporting you, your job doesn't leave you any free time, or your husband or wife don't want to follow your way... well, guess what?
These are just pitiful excuses we all love so much and use so often to remain on the same spot assigned to us by this System.
