He sat for a thousand years - and only found what he always was

But I know what the trouble also is, it is because we've heard all these stories. In India, we've heard even more. He sat for a thousand years in a cave, at the point where there was a big ant hill around him. It includes him completely easily. And then he got his enlightenment. If I get a promise that is going to happen six lifetime later, I'm okay with that. But what did he say, when he found this truth about himself? Did he say, I really had to sit for these thousand years? He said, I only found what I have always been. He said, you have to become that.
