The thing has to happen. It is about this, what the Zen masters were trying to say when they said before enlightenment, chopping wood, searching water, after enlightenment, chopping wood, fetching water. Because this, yeah, and I usually say, hold on. But it is a job to this expectation that something should be different in my life now that I'm discovering the truth of where. If you truly are, then you know that it is not this bucket of flesh and blood which is discovering the truth. So why should things be different for this? This is still attachment to this set of sensations. You are not contained in this universe. If anything, the universe is contained in you. If you give it the notion of reality, it is contained in you. If you don't even give it the notion of reality, the universe has never happened.
