The rewards of [[Awakening]] cannot really be captured in words. To say that it's rewarding to live [[An awakened life]] doesn't really land, because part of living an awakened life is no longer seeking pleasure and satisfaction in rewards: [[Self has preferences, but it doesn't mind what happens]]. And yet, to live an awakened life is to be everything that you seek: [[You are what you seek]]. However, this doesn't mean we can't also get what we want. See: [[An awakened life is the life you want]].
