The three qualities that are absolutely essential for anyone on the spiritual path are intensity, intensity , and intensity! You have never experienced the joy of giving your life to anything! Understand, it is not necessary that you should have intensity only towards enlightenment. It is a quality that should pervade everything you do. If you are working, work intensely. If you are enjoying enjoy intensely. If you are depressed, be intensely depressed! The same intensity, the same yearning will become integrated and will get directed to the unknown, to enlightenment. Not only that, your unfulfilled desires can be simply burnt with the intensity. Whatever you experience as fulfillment, yearn for that. The intense yearning is enough, it will evaporate you. And the fulfillment you experience will be many times more than the fulfillment you may have ever experienced before.
