Modern man is deeply embedded in the sleep of ignorance.
The dream state in which he is enjoying/ even struggling with is far from what he was born to achieve
Only your work can transcend your experience, and the quality determines whether you are able to discover yourself or not.
I would go on to argue that only your work that you leave behind defines you.
At the peak of your success, you define who you are.
To explain myself better, imagine yourself sitting in a car and driving to top of hill.
When you haven't reached the peak, the beam from the headlight just illuminates the path in front of you
And that is a limited experience/perception, but...
But, when you reach the top of the hill, the beam from your headlight shines to eternity/infinity.
Nobody can't stop it from doing so. That's where you realize why you were chosen.
And that alone defines your existence and being.
